C:\test>dir ?.bmp

31/05/2011  14:33           720,054 2.bmp
               2 File(s)      1,440,108 bytes

C:\test>del 1.zip 2.zip 3.zip

C:\test>zip 1.zip 1.bmp
  adding: 1.bmp (160 bytes security) (deflated 100%)

C:\test>zip 2.zip 2.bmp
  adding: 2.bmp (160 bytes security) (deflated 100%)

Still nowhere near the 2.0 you would expect if this worked.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
