What are you writing the book with? This strikes me as a perfect use case for a revision control system, and there's a DOS port of RCS that might be applicable if your source text is plain text, and not the binary form produced by various word processors. > I know there have been a few recent alphas of 7-Zip for Windows, but I > don't think Igor ever finalized them yet.

I use 7-zip under Linux as well, where the compression engine has been ported as a command line app, and can be had as a GUI using P-Zip, or called as a plugin from something like X-Archiver. ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
