Thanks Larry. I tried googling as per your suggestion, and, wow....heavy duty geek-speak! :) Way above my head, but interesting just the same. I just sort of wanted to know how to use mscompress to de-compress an exe. Sort of like driving the car without knowing exactly how every part functions. ;) Here's a cool animation of the Lempel-Ziv encoding algorithm doing it's thing: http://www.data-compression.com/lempelziv.html I guess maybe, to quote a very wise fox, "those grapes are probably much too sour anyway".
