By accident I came across a neat piece of software called Justzipit. There are many zip softwares out there including the big boy Winzip. But what is really cool is this software is a lean.....mean.......zipping/unzipping machine!!!! It does exactley that no frills or bells........just right click a exex......folder....file....etc..and you can zip......send via email. Its a great product and its free!!!!! Here is the web site you can view and download:
