Pat;
What I am saying is, if you do not have an NTSF drive, none of these
options are available with XP. Only with WinZip or a similar zipping
program. No, or little compression. My drive happens to be Fat32. I plan
on re-formatting at some point. Just a little leary of sticking more than
my big toe in the water.
