---- I asked WinZip for plugin support so users could add arbitrary compressions formats (I specifically mentioned 'bz2'). I even offered to do it myself if they wanted to give me NDA access to the code.... and was told that they have thought about extensibility but had no plans to support it in the forseeable future. Consider it a benefit of a closed source product. They control your file format, they control your business and personal decisions...nice.Anyone up for writing a Free version of Winzip to replace the "cooperative" Winzip authors' version (was was up for making minor mod's, but not starting from scratch).
