1. Win32lib v0.70.2a

I'm uploading right now a modified version of win32lib, dubbed v0.70.2a, that
should become 0.70.3 when an official release is made.

Since I'm packing boxes for moving this week, I won't be very responsive to bug
reports these days. For this reason, I suggest delaying official release of
0.70.3 till Dec. 15. I hope I can fix all that I get by that time

I'll still be able to read EuForum or email to oedoc hat free doubt fr from
office, but will be cut from internet for a few days by the end of next week,
time for the new ADSL link to operate properly.

Newer additions, unsufficiently tested:
* new print job properties: JP_PaperBin, JP_PaperSize, JP_Margins, JP_Collate.
* new procedure newPrinter(printer name,flag). Use this to select the printer
without a dialog box. Set flag to transfer all user set options to new printer.
Do any changes you like, then call getDefaultPrinter() and all printing should
occur with expected options without a single dialog popping up.
* Some glitches in the docs were spotted and fixed.

This version discontinues support for the older onXXX syntax. I'll probably
include a small text on how to upgrade old programs.

2. Re: Win32lib v0.70.2a

I'm having the same problem that I had with 0_70_1: won't unzip on Vista
machine. CAM Unzip reports CheckDir Error (it can't make dirs?); 5 files
extracted. See my previous post on 0_70_1.

Wado.

Vista's built-in unzip is very defective.
Explorer will crash severely if I try to view
a file inside a .zip. With Win32Lib, if I save the file
to disk, and then "extract all files",
it will work, but will take 10 *minutes*, on a very fast machine!!!
It should only take a few seconds.
A Google search shows other people have the same problem.
I guess I'll have to use WinZip or something until
Microsoft fixes this problem.

Did you try any of the many free, lightweight .zip handlers there are on the
net?
I don't have Vista, so cannot recommand any regarding the issue you have. I like
Funduc zip (fsx.exe at www.funduc.com/fszipx.htm). There are othzer freebees, but
again, I have no clue how they behave on Vista.

Rob:

   I saw a comment on the web that the slowness was caused by some

   Virus scanners running when unzipping.

Yes it is. On Vista it correctly and quickly 
unzips the Win32Lib zip file.
Both CAM Unzip and Easy Zip failed.
WinZip is no longer free.

I agree.  It is good, fast, cheap ($0) and handles several types of compressed
files including tar, bz2.
