Use WinRAR.

WinRAR 3.30 Trial should do you for now.

Have you tried drag and drop with your current WinZIP? WinZIP is suppose to be able to handle .tar files.

I know you'll think I'm stoopid, but I dont feel confident at all with anything other than zip files.

I just unzip them to a new folder on my puter then upload them to the server.

*edited*

Boy I feel really stoooooopid now. I've just done it with Winzip lol

Sowwy for being a dumbass.

Well 3.30 is less than 1mb so not so bad. Wink

Sentinel's all installed now hehehe Fankoo Ganga.

I'll take a peek at WinRAR tho.

BT are looking into the possibility of taking the DACS off my line (shared line) but if they dont have enough cables I gotta put up with having a slow connection, and no sign of Broadband til well past July 2005 here Shocked

I clicked on the link at the bottom of the Sentinel box on the homepage here Digibeet. Thats where I got mine from but it is probably in Raven's download section now I expect.

Winzip handles tar.gz files. It will ask you if you want winzip to untar it and you just say yes. Then it will expand it just like a zip file.

Thanks Raven.

I dont know why I was so scared of any files that weren't zips lol

Maybe I'm too long in the tooth for some stuff eh?

You come to appreciate the tar.gz files on dialup they are usually considerably more compressed then zip files.

Don't feel bad, I use to be uneasy about anything but zip files until I learned how tar.gz's are made. It's a better compression system to make the downloads much smaller Smile
