Dictionary or brute force? On my XP 2200+ trying to crack a zipfile that has the password "th151sar3a11y10ngpa55w0rd" has been running now for about 4 hours, and still hasn't returned. $ time fcrackzip ../OOo_1.1.4_Win32Intel_install.zip (I unzipped the stock OOo_1.1.4_Win32Intel_install.zip and recreated it with the password.) -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail. After seeing all the viruses, trojan horses, worms and Reply mails from stupidly-configured anti-virus software that's been hurled upon the internet for the last 3 years, and the time/money that is spent protecting against said viruses, trojan horses & worms, I can only conclude that Microsoft is dangerous to the internet and American commerce, and it's software should be banned.
