Now you know >why I haven't gotten Linux or those other kewl systems I hear about ever so >often...cause I can't DL 'em!!! Er. Par'n me, but methinks I've missed something here. WinZip32 can unpack many things. In a worst case scenario, it spawns a DOS process which runs an external program (a good example being ARJ.EXE). GZip for MSDOS will probably work - it just has to be configured correctly to be called from WinZip if you'll use it often. If not, just run it from a DOS prompt. BTW - only install Linux if you've got the time to learn Linux, or if you're planning to run a serious multiuser MUD. Oh, and don't bother if you've got a SCSI controller!
