Macs can translate .zip files with no problems. StuffIt Expander is 
included in the OS install. Now as to the file types in the .zip file?? 
JPEG, GIF, BMP are all readable by QuickTime - No problem. Aladdin 
(www.aladdinsys.com) even has a StuffIt Expander for Windows that expands 
and opens most Mac compression schemes (.hqx, .bin) This is a free 
download and may help keep us all happier and writing about our LBC's.
