Mohan.... Like your thread, and all of the interesting economic view points. Lots of different ways to accomplish your unzipping.. I suggest scheduling an "at" job.. You can do something like "at" (a command from the NT command prompt.. Tell it to "unzip basedirectory/." every 5 minutes... I don't remember the syntax.. but it's simple.. The command will run every 5 minutes forever and try to unzip anything in the directory.. Good luck Richard

I may be missing the question but what about using WINZIP and make your file self-extracting. All that has to be done on the other end is double click an icon. You can even tell the self-extracting file what directory you want the files placed in. Monty

MMV: I think the other two answered your question. Send them first PKzip.exe and tell them how to use it. Then follow the practices suggested! This is too obvious, are the guys in the other end in some remote Indian village ;) Seppo

Mohan, Not sure if you've solved your download problem yet, but the elegant solution is to use the Windows/NT rsh command. Here's a short description of the command: Runs commands on remote hosts running the RSH service. RSH host [-l username] [-n] command host Specifies the remote host on which to run command. -l username Specifies the user name to use on the remote host. If omitted, the logged on user name is used. -n Redirects the input of RSH to NULL. command Specifies the command to run. You can probably find out more about this somewhere on the microsoft.com web site. Craig
