Thanks for the suggestions.

I tried apt-get install zip but got
W: Not using locking for read onlyu lock file /var/libdpkg/lock
E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Also, if I use zip what would the commands be? I'm familiar with winzip.

Sorry for the followup followup problems. Appreciate the assistance.
