Craig, I think this is not true.

I have 120 reports and this produces 240 small separate files and
also some hundres of small dbf and fpt files.

Setup wizard (VFP 5 ) compresses small files inefficiently.
If I use only setup wizard compression, it produces a larger number
of distribution floppys ! Also, zip compresses a bit more efficiently than
ms compress.

Has you see from my message I use info-zip unzip program.
According to info zip licence, its zip and unzip are completely
FREE for use in my knowledge.
