software pirate ::gasp:: ) from kazaa. i used to hate
recieving .zip files in emails because i could never open
them. after installing winzip, i can open them with ease.

Dawn,

Two things:

1) Winzip is *allowed* to be downloaded - it is shareware - if you like it
(and use it) then you pay for it <it's that simple>

2) With Windows XP you don't need to have Winzip to open ZIP files - The
operating system can handle the opening of them. However, many of the
options available via Winzip are far superior to those available via
Windows XP by itself.
