Both are free. Ian _________________________ Yamaha Tyros4, Yamaha MS-60S Powered Monitors(2), Yamaha CS-01, Yamaha TQ-5, Yamaha PSR-S775.

For years now the zip file format has been supported by Windows so there has been no need for a separate program like Winzip. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Compress-and-uncompress-files-zip-files

The screens on my PC didn't look exactly like the vid, but it looks like it worked ... I may also look into the 7zip ... thnx agn _________________________ t.
