Who knows, but the last one(pdutil.exe) is the right one and it is the right size. Just do a start/run and select this file and it will install. Let it take over the extensions for all zip and compression files. It is better than or at least equal to any other zip file handler and you won't even have to think about it. It opens zip, cab, arc, pak, zoo...and lots more just as if they were folders instead of files. You can also right click on any of these and extract all the files to a folder or you can view any of the files in the compressed file by turning on the viewer pane by hitting F9 and clicking on the file you want to view. If you want the viewer pane to go away, just hit F9 again. In general, it does everything that Windows Explorer does, only better. It might be a tad slower on display than WE, but not enough to bother me and I have over 2400 directories and 75,000 files on my C disk alone. If the viewers that it has aren't enough for you, you can buy the professional version, but I can't see why you would want to. Everett L.(Rett) Williams rett at gvtc.com
