Actually, one of the programs (PKZIP or PKUNZIP) has a verbose view which tells you which version is required for each file in the ZIP. Also, I have yet to se a decent BBS system that does not have PKZ110.EXE. If I find one that does not, I upload it and then promptly log off and never call back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | James M.
