    No sites need WinZip if you have The Sim File Maid. All you do is save the file you want to your desk top and drag it into the file maid. It will install it for you and you'll be all set. You can then delete the file from your desktop.

    That's the same as Simsplus SimZip (program idea wise)

    now that would be something to look into, finding sites that don't require winzip...

    Very Rare. Most sites use ZIP.

    It is easiest for webmasters to use .zip files because the program used to run them is free and it compresses the file so it uses less bandwidth.

    ZIP is cheap though...EXEs are harder to make since to do something like what we did with our most recent EXE design, it queries the registry for directory structure.

    Besides the fact that there are sites with nonzip files.. How hard can it be to learn how to use win.zip?? Answer: not hard at all. It's timeconsuming, that's all..
    And if you want it for sims in the first place.. how about simzip?
    (Have no own experience about that though)

    i agree on the research part, and its not hard writing programs...well..ok...so it is...a lil *smiles innocently* but its not exactly that hard to make .exe, like self zipping things is it?

    I always tell people that asks for download "start surf". We all want more or less different thngs. I think people need to do the job themselves when it comes to sites. There are so many...
