Compressing a group of compressed files?

[joe pic]

I'm creating a disc for my cousin with a lot of software for her new laptop that she wants. Now, i have a bunch of compressed installation files, and have them in a folder. Now, can I compress those compressed files? I use winzip. And i don't want it to exceed 700 MB b/c i'm putting them on a cd-r

thanks,

With Win-Rar you can compress a great deal, but compressing a compressed file will not work unfortunately. Beyond that... try another CD? There really isn't much to get around that.

Why don't you just use multiple cd's? Yeha, compressing compressed files won't work. Try using a program like size me www.freewarepub.org/freeware/SizeMe.html to ultilize every drop of that 700mb.
