Title: doc. compression Mac to Windows
Post by: ejc on July 11, 2003, 06:19:35 PM

Hi folks,

One of my Windows clients wants me to compress a report (Word doc) created on my Mac so that he can download it more swiftly when  he is away from his company server. He says it takes forever when he is travelling. Asks can I zip it?
Anybody able to offer help?
Thanks

ZipIt

QUOTE

Zip archives
A zip archive is any file that ends with the extension '.zip'. The zip format is popular on the IBM, and is widely used as an interplatform compression format. In addition, ZipIt can compress Macintosh applications and documents without losing any of their data. ZipIt is best used when transferring compressed documents to and from other computer types. Some examples are: text files, TIFF pictures, Excel databases, and QWK message packets, to name just a very few. Note that files that end in '.Z' or '.gz' are not ZipIt files, even though Netscape may give them a ZipIt icon.

$20 shareware.  Just another option.
