What part of "Its a political issue - not a technical issue" is not getting through here? I really don't see how much more plain I can make it. I keep saying that the answer *MUST BE* one that is built into the program and can't be any sort of shell script or temporary file or pipe anything of the sort. Yet you keep coming back with that response. Are you just trying to bait me? I am not some kind of inexperienced, wet-behind-the-ears fresh-out who is having his chain jerked by his superiors to see if he can figure it out. I am not being sent on a snipe hunt nor being asked to find a left-handed smoke bender. The problem here is very specific and I have tried to outline precisely what my need is. If you have some information that will help me out here, I'd appreciate it. But the answer has to be some sort of package that does basically what Win32.LZExpand does. If you know of something like this, please pass that info along.
