>I know that I have been inattentive to details which I don't use on a daily basis ( I am truly thankful for online help and the Hacker's Guide ), for example the files section of the Universal Thread. Well, the day has come when I was looking for a copy of the old reliable PKZIP program ( apparently my windows can unzip, but I don't see Pkzip on my machine anywhere ). On my computers back home in California I even have the Winzip ( paid, registered, and harder to use than old reliable PKZIP ) and my favorite: PKZIP.

Check the "Forum main page" option (second from the left on the top). It's now called "Download" (or Downloads).
