That's how I normally run it as well from the context menu myself. The thing is I also always use the legacy compression method to remain compatible with everybody else any way. So I haven't really benefited much beyond WinZip 8.1 so far as that goes. For now I might just install the self extractor program and stick with what is built in possibly. Either way this is on the back burner for a little while. David Ferrin I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I'll probably screw that one up too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dana S.

I upgraded to 12 only because I had previously paid for their upgrade assurance plan, and 12 didn't cost me anything extra. I can't say I've noticed any obvious differences/improvements in 12; but, then, I almost always only run WinZip from the context menu interface.
