THANKS, Mel! I never realized that the Archive would be a ZIP file. I just tried it with a folder full of jpeg pictures, and of course, since they are already compressed (as in jpeg compression), it only reduced the size from 16.3 MB to 15.7 MB. But, it was a fast and seamless process. --Steve At 8:59 PM -0500 5/30/04, Mel Krewall wrote: > >If you use 10.3 you already have the ability to zip files, but the >Mac OS does not call it zip.
