  1. I prefer 7zip, mainly because it's a lot faster and has a better progress bar, as indicated above. I really don't care how the GUI looks, since I'm not one of those who are obsessed with the appearance -- as long as it works, and it works perfectly fine.

    7zip is smaller and faster even though it does not support as many formats (although I don't need such diverse support anyway).

    BTW IzArc is written in Delphi (executable is packed down to 780K, but it's actually moar liek 2.8M), which is likely the reason for it's lower performance.

    7zip looks like MFC (executable is only 293K, not packed).

    We can compare codec modules from each archiver for each format:

    7zip: IzArc:

    7z: 137K 505K

    RAR: 56.5K 160K

    CAB: 43.5K 57.5K

    I don't think I need to elaborate.

    ...BTW, I use LZH/LH7 for my own archiving purposes. The compression is much better than ZIP, quite similar to RAR (sometimes better than).

  2. ...with a little use of the Brain?

    Titel: string[30];

    Artist: string[30];

    end;

    var

    Form1: TForm1;

    implementation

    {$R *.dfm}

    function readID3Tag(FileName: string): TID3Tag;

    var

    FS: TFileStream;

    Buffer: array [1..128] of Char;

    begin

    FS := TFileStream.Create(FileName, fmOpenRead or fmShareDenyWrite);

    try

    FS.Seek(-128, soFromEnd);

    FS.Read(Buffer, 128);

    with Result do

    begin

    ID := Copy(Buffer, 1, 3);

    Titel := Copy(Buffer, 4, 30);

    Artist := Copy(Buffer, 34, 30);

    ...and I don't even know much about Delphi.
  3. Can one simply purchase a license/key and use a Home CD to install Pro via the PID?
    The Pro CD has several files that are different / not included in home edition. You need the CD, but legally the upgrade version is cheapest.
  4. Add the following line below the [386Enh] entry.

    MaxPhysPage=3FE00

    This will limit Windows 98SE to 1020 Megs of RAM.

    If you experience any problem use this value instead:

    MaxPhysPage=3C000

    Locate the following entry: [vcache]

    Add the following lines below the [vcache] entry.

    MinFileCache=100000

    MaxFileCache=100000

    :no:

    MaxPhysPage is unnecessary

    MinFileCache and MaxFileCache should be set to powers of 2 - e.g. 131072.
