I've found an answer to a similar question posted here back in August '95. 
It mentions using a util to do the checking.  I've just un-debugged the
capture text and it created a Zip archive, like... I'm trying to say I
haven't tried it myself.  :)   I'll send you the util's archive in an email
(4.2k).

Cheers,
Paul.
