No disrespect to Jonathan intended, but his is the last site I would send someone to who knows nothing about QL unzipping. It is just too technical for most of us. That is why I prefer the old fashioned method of just sending the enquirer a disk. Once he has that unzipping is usually no problem at all - just a couple of commands to learn. The big problems come, as Dilwyn says, when the enquirer has a system that cannot read and write to PC disks. This is a nightmare situation and you almost have to tailor your advice to the individual according to technical knowledge, apparatus and available software. Fortunately most people who download have upgraded to QPC2 and this is much less a problem than it was formerly, Best Wishes, Geoff _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
