Hi Angus,

This is something else than that I was looking for,
yes TZipMaster is masking that, and could or should be shifted to the dll
and I think now is the time to do it, since Eric tries to launch new Beta's.
I will look in it en try to solve it together with the "delete" stuff.
I detected some other problems in TZipMaster doing some test on a possible
fix for the delete, looks like an avalanche now.
