It would be nice to see someone in the community with some VB expertise whip up an open source equivalent. It also looks like ZWC is using PKZip's library. PKZip supports encryption of zip'd files. This could probably all be replaced with an open source zip library like 7-zip which also supports encryption. Nothing against Zamanda here, however, it just goes against open source principles to cripple open source software in order to hold the corner on the market. Kind Regards, Chris
