I ALWAYS look at the file before sending it to my machine (one of my most commonly-typed commands is arc p stuff STUFF.DOC | more), to see if I have any use for it. My problem with the UnZip problem is that it won't let me do that (On the PC, I use "pkunzip -c stuff stuff.doc | list /s"). I don't have LHarc for UN*X, but since Yoshi releases his source I'm sure it can extract to console. -- Jason Merrill jmerrill@jarthur.claremont.edu
