 Now, that you meantion it. It was mainly on .txt files, but when I convertted
my entired file base on my board. It saved me 5 mb which with this 80 gig hd 
it didn't mader. Also, just wantted to say I also mainly use Zip cause all 
most of the fileshare networks use that format, but use rar when I am getting 
stuff of the newsgroups.
 What ever it is. It is just handy to have a bunch ready to use.
