Opens ICE,ARJ, ZIP, GZIP, TAR, MS-CAB, RAR, ACE, Quake 3 compressed files, Internet Mail files (Mime, UUE, XXE, B64, HQX), Java Archive (JAR, EAR, WAR), LZS, LZH, LHA, IMP, BZ2, (but unfortunately no 7z).

Ah, I incorrectly assumed you were using winzip.
.7z does indeed provide great compression, but it's so widely unused that it often creates compatibilty problems.
At least .rar is gaining popularity :).

Thanks for the links tst, they look very good. One of the difficulties I have with searching online is that it is a bit hard to find answers to specific questions. Sure I can take it step by step and work through all the tutorials (and I will soon), but it's way more fun to jump in the deep end of the pool and see if I can swim. ;)
Well, as I said, it would be nice to hear whether they're actually worth anything once you go through them.
Given the size and number of my vi's, I'm willing to bet that my implementation is much, MUCH more complex than it needs to be. C'est la vie.
100K doesn't look like too much to me. I can't see your code, but too complex is not terrible. Your problem is that you have Altenbach here, who's the master of making things efficient and compact and will probably modify your code beyond recognition just to show you "how it could be done". ![]()
My source is there for all the world to see (and mock.)

In my day everyone used .rar because .zip did not support disk spanning. Do you remember disk spanning?
Yes, and I also think I remember PKZIP supporting disk spanning on DOS.
Or are you talking earlier than that?
