Actuallly, windows gets standard zip compression rates (tested
with winzip and 7-zip) but the zip format gets the least
compression as a reule.

Hi Greg.
Yes, it is possible with windows, but the compression rates, ease
of use and
ability to create different archives isn't that good, where as
7zip is
fantastic for such things.
I hope you find it useful.
beware the grue!
Dark.

Cool thanks Dark I have it. I wasn't sure of what to do I did
it with
windows. So I know what to do for next time.

Hi greg.
I'd recommend getting 7zip from http://www.7zip.com/
this is a free zipping tool, and does an absolutely fantastic
job as well
as being really easy to use.
When you've installed it, just hit the application key (or any
right
click type thing), on the folder, and find the 7zip option. In
there will
be a menue that lets you do various things, but the one you use
most is
the "add to archive" item at the top.
Hit this and you'll be in a box where you can choose various
things like
compression method, or archive type such as zip or 7z as well as
name the
file (by default it'll be the name of the folder but you can
change this
if you want), if you don't want to change anything (which you
probably
won't), just hit enter and wait a bit and vuala!
It's extremely simple to use and it's compression levels are
great. You
can also use the same process to compress multiple files and zip
them up
by selecting them as you would to copy and paste, and it also
unzips more
efficiently than windows does and will tell you if there are any
errors.
it can unzip Ra, iso, zip and several other formats, and can zip
up in
zip, ta, or 7z format.
hth.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
