Today's Tip: March 15, 2004
Just Zip It: When you want to archive documents or send large files to
friends or colleagues, itUs very helpful to have compression software
at hand. Compressing files saves storage space and helps speed files
over the Internet.
And if youUve installed Mac OS X v10.3 RPanther,S you donUt have to go
very far to find such software because compression technology comes
built in. To take advantage of this technology from the Finder, simply:
1. Select a document, a group of documents or a folder
2. Pull down the File menu and choose RCreate Archive of [name]S
Panther adds a R.zipS suffix at the end of individual files or folders;
creates a file called RArchive.ZipS when you compress multiple
documents or folders. And hereUs an added bonus: zip is the most common
compression format in the Windows world.
