Take a look at ZipMagic which allows you to treat .ZIP files as folders/directories in any program (DOS or Windows) running under Windows 95. This means (for small archives) I can download a demo and leave it ZIPped whilst I am using it. It saves space because you don't have to unpack the .ZIP file to access the files within. Obviously you will need a fast computer or else the zipping/unzipping will slow it down too much!! >While there's undoubtedly a lot of SCEE-sourced info which has no >excuse to be anything except ZIPped, some Sony material comes direct >from SCEI and was probably prepared on Sony NEWS machines which may >not recognise the PC standard. Actually, I think the stuff from SCEI is .LZH archived, correct me if I am wrong.
