 I was thinking of that, but as the two unzip and zip lines were attempted
with identical entries, and I checked real close for any typo's...

 Well, the rodent should slow me down. I found the *less* I reach for the

 As I think the author suggested too. I just had to download both in order
to find out.  For kicks, I will attempt to use the two versions
again, but an updated copy.

 Thanks for the input!
