To be able to use zip would require a new version of Entourage. > It's not the answer you wanted to hear. True, but it uses the Stuffit Engine made by Aladdin and supplied by Apple in the OS. If the newest version of Stuffit Engine has .zip built in (which I think it does), and Apple were to ship that version with the OS (which it doesn't), it probably would not be very difficult for MS to add .zip compression as an option when a check shows that you have the right version of Stuffit Engine. But since this will now not occur until OS 10.4, presumably. it would quite possibly be too late for the next version of Entourage. Who knows - maybe Apple and MS can get things out sooner than the next full version of OS and Office. But I'd doubt it. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
