There would have to be room on your disk for the ZIP file *and* for all the unZIPped files. Same is true when you ZIP a bunch of files, even with the "delete-when-zipped" option, you need the space for the ZIPed file to start with. Hope your problem is this simple... -ted- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ted@helios.ucsc.edu |"He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the W (408)459-2110 |Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness H (408)423-2444 |and to walk humbly with your God?"
