They want 20 bucks for powerarchiver. I'm running windows, not linux, which leads to too many complications otherwise. I've been down that road in the past with other software apps. The gap between linux and windows is too great for me to bother. I could possibly figure it out if I made it into a major project, but I have better things to do with my time... :) WP
