Yes, but another option would be to have WinZip turn the Zip file into a
self extracting file.
Then anyone with a Windows PC you send/give "the" file to would not need
ANY program
to un-zip it. (Save it in Win 3.1 mode for maximum compatibility, if you
are not sure...)
The additional "feature" adds about 20K to the file size.
Note: Some e-mail (ISP) systems are "set" to refuse ".EXE" file
attatchments,
which is what it becomes.
