For the last       option it creates a new directory within the same one as you've put the       RAR.       It'll handle almost all compressed archives and is one of the most useful       utilities I've ever found.              http://www.legroom.net/software/uniextract       --       Peter.       You don't understand Newton's Third Law of Motion?       It's not rocket science, you know.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
