7-Zip is the best - both in Windows and Linux, I use only 7-zip. Almost all formats are supported including RPM, ISO etc etc. But I wanna know if there is any free zip-utility which can be used to make a sfx archive with a custom icon for the exe [AFAIK, only registered version of Winzip do this!]. Will this be possible in 7zip? Siva

OK I tried adding all C and .h files to the MFC project. There are many errors. I'll change all the printf() calls to Afxmssg type. Now one of the main culprit is directory fns & variables. I think those also need to be replaced with MFC part. With code properly arranged out I'll get back to you. As of now there are no calls from MFC code to any of the C fns. I understand that this has to be done within externC. Thanx for the reply.

I'm not much of an MFC/C++ guy but I know C. I'd seen in some forum here, that we can mix MFC with Console apps. I dunno whether he meant console app to be C++ or not! My qstn is how to use C in an MFC [exe] project. What extra things should I do to mix C inside so that I too can do some MFC stuff and porting some of my progs to GUI? Thanks
