ZipIt (www.maczipit.com) does that. MacBinary fits all the aspects of Mac
files (data fork, resource fork, types, dates, flags, etc.) into one raw
data file, which the ZIP format can compress. >>

I've never seen anybody at your age ( just turned 13 ) who is as together,
talented and sharp in A2, Mac and PC platforms - before!  We are lucky to have
somebody with as much of all you have going for you and can offer in your
computer knowledge base working on program development in the Apple II
community and active on this newsgroup.

I've got a friend that works at Adobe as a programmer with a real interest in
the Mac and A2 platform, I've got to introduce you to him.  I'll bet that the
two of you
together could come up with some real jewels to release as freeware for many
things to make the Mac, PC and Apple II platforms even more compatible.

Keep at it and thanks for all you've done so far with so many things.
The TED (Text Editor Deluxe) update you did from Glen Bredon's original v1.0
for the Mac was really nice work. Anne - Glen's widow is really pleased with it
and sends her thanks.

Cheers,
Tom
