Entourage doesn't use this core. Entourage X was made for OS 10.1, and v10.1.2 had a few updates for OS 10.2. Entourage uses the Stuffit Engine. I have no idea _how_ it uses the Stuffit Engine, but providing a symlink to some Apple header file for .zip would only make it fall flat on its face. Make a feature request to Microsoft in the Help/Send Feedback menu. It's a good idea, if they can do it. It will not be as simple as you think. -- 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/>
