I'm not aware of ANY windows machine that comes with winzip or pkzip (windows XP has unzip/zip technology built in however). I think that most user are used to obtaining software to view files of various formates. (although windows trys to provide Microsoft's own means of doing this built in which I personally believe stifles competition) Think about it, should I provide documents in .doc just because .pdf would require a windows user to download software which doesn't cost anything and is easily obtain? On the same note, anyone can provide thier documents in any formate they please. I was simply pointed out that there are applications available for windows to handle BZip2.Colin Ingram <cjingram@wisc.edu> writes:7-zip. Supported formats: 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, Z, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEBCould you expect the an average windows user to have 7-zip? Most Windows machines I've seen either comes with winzip or pkzip (and even pkzip is pretty rare these days).
