First of all, thanks for enlightening me. I don't use any MICROS~1 products so it was a really honest question. Whenever I needed interoperability with a "Windows" PC, there was the big problem: For any additional functionality "foo" you needed to install "WinFoo". There was nothing from the OS's side.

I've seen "WinZip" and my stomache reported to me. :-) Much better is the FAR Manager which handles zip archives (and many others) just like directories, like the Midnight Commander does. It's typical for MICROS~1 to make things more complicated than they need to be, and invent new names for already known stuff. The next time someone mentions "compressed folders" I will know what he's talking about, and show him some (real) folders I have compressed to 10cm x 10cm x 10cm handy sized cubes. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
