Dick, believe me, we have already eXperimented with the ZIP file, but it's not so "simple." For instance, many of the hyperlinks get messed up and an entirely new index would have to be created (and all must be re-audited) which would essentially cause a much greater burden on our already overworked staff.
Again, first and foremost, we are an online magazine & looking for ways to make it more convenient to download & organize your copies is a secondary effort when, as I have stated before, it only takes about 12-15 minutes for a reader to load up and then download an entire issue to the hard disk. Load up of a single article takes an average of about 45 seconds followed by apprx. 15 seconds to save to disk. So, it ain't that tuff, Dick!
Our biggest priority remains in bringing the readers better & better monthly issues. 73, jack@antennex.com
