David, Ralf & Co

(Sorry, David, for lumping you together with the other one), apart
from the nauseating OO discussions, we seem to be getting only a
fairly steady stream of resource managers, binders and special
compression routines. Call me a wrecker, but I still do not get it,
and I read the docs!

When I want to dispatch a bunch of files, I usually put them
separately in an empty folder so they do not get mixed up with
anything else (such a simpleton!), then I say a magic phrase

    zip  file_name  *.*

and you know what, in a flash I have a spanking new file_name.zip,
which is usually only about one third the size of the original.

The unfortunate guy at the other end then usually puts the file in an
empty folder so it does not get mixed up with anything else (you see,
we, simpletons, stick together) and utters even a simpler magic phrase

    unzip file_name

Try it, you would not believe it. Jiri
