Good X book & Tip (was : Logic Prefs? )

>>I do have a tip for everyone that I just learned. If you want to zip
a file to send to a PC user, you can do this mac X without stuffit or
any special software.
1. Copy the file "oldfile" to your username directory (the little
"house" icon in the finder window)
2. Open Applications > Utilities > Terminal
3. type : zip newfilename.zip oldfile<<
Actually, to create a zip file is even simpler, with Panther (10.3),
and does not require using the Terminal: Control-click (one button
mouse) or right click (two button mouse) the file you want to zip, and
from the contextual menu that appears choose "Create Archive..."
That's it; you're done!
PEACE
