I didn't know this, Angus. Thanks for informing me. Which brings up my
last question...Does it matter which platform I use, while I am doing
the zipping? Do I have to be in a Windows program to properly zip
files, or can I be in Mac OS X and zip them, without any cross-platform
problems?

Dan...You use Mac OS X, right? Do you know of any cross-platform
issues? I could do all the zipping in VirtualPC in Windows 98 se if
need be...
