There is a program called 'ZIPPY' out. I believe it's latest version is 1.25. I'm sorry that I can't direct you to the best place to get it, though. There was some discussion as to how good it was. I have found that it will extract ALL types of ZIP archives, but it has one caveat: It **MUST** be spawned VIA ARP to un-do imploded zip files. I was running it under the ARP shell and never had a problem. I recently removed the ARP shell from my system and it no longer could un-do the imploded files. ARUN ZIPPY ..... would function okay, however. Anyone have any ideas on WHY? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AFIT Amiga Users BBS/UFGateway |Steve Palm - via FidoNet node 1:110/300 1:110/300 Dayton, Ohio |UUCP: afitamy!11!16!Steve.Palm (513)-252-7681 |ARPA: Steve.Palm@f16.n11.z1.FIDONET.ORG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
