 Yep, I apologize for that. I've got a 386dx 33 with a fast disk and it

suck.

 RG>Are you serious ???
 
 Yes - what do you do with your programing ability? I do demos mainly.
 
 RG>Assuming you mean ZIP64 then nope..  This has no compression either
 RG>(I think).
 
 It does, but I am fairly sure it is only equal-char packing.

 Interesting - why did you pull the plug? Too much hassle/expense?

 Yeah, its a bit depressing isnt it..
