Thanks Richard! I am working on a project that will be doing some file zipping. It isn’t a full blown zip program. It will just provide the ability to zip a file in the process.
It is impressive and nice to see very old code works on current Macs. I jusst downloaded the code from you links and will be looking at it. thanks again!
