1. [OT] GMail vs ZIP files?

Call me crazy, but I could have swore that I used to be able to attach
zip files to Gmail messages. I just tried sending Derek my latest
contest submission and I got this error:

"Sorry, for security reasons, Gmail does not allow you to send this
type of attachment."

Am I the only one getting this?

No this is a gmail thing. Jyst rename the file to a txt extension and
Derek can re name it. At least thats how I get around it.

Tony

What if they block .txt, since they can tell you how to create
viruses...

Ooops!. No, that's because I forgot to run your code. I got the
source but didn't run it over the test suite. Sorry, I'll fix
that tonight.
