Ah I didn't know that .zip was incorporated into the OS. I am glad to
hear it. I still get files from people using Mac and Stuff It so I
assumed it was still popular. As for Expander version 8, anyone happen
to know where I might grab a copy of that? The more (current) version I
am using now is very annoying to say the least.
