AL where have you been!
Al Zip is a must for marginally to minimmumal adequate understanders (me) of openining files! The OWL and his EGGS not only keep track of which files need to be opened, that it opened and more importantly WHERE the file is at! The visual OWL and his EGGS actally make file opening fun instead of a chore. I no longer open the same file 20+ times, while never opening the one I actally need! Just as important is the message "FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED! I no longer waste needlessly time trying to open those files. Just as important, when I open a file and see or suspect a missing part, I can find and reopen that file easily. Several times the missing part will show up. I have only used AL for opening files, not for file compression. I as yet have little need for file compression. So far my only complaint is ALs OWL places itself mid screen when open. When opening the many files I get and try to do other things, it gets in the way. No way to reposition it out of the way to stay.
