I just used drop stuff to compress a work folder, and to test it, expanded it right away. I noticed the estimated time given was a VERY large number of hours..prbly longer than the universe has been around! the archive did open fine, but I am concerned about this wacky estimate. Plus, I have experience with 1 other archive also showing a huge estimated time to unstuff that never DOES finish un-stuffing. anyone know about this? thanks! nk
