I have ver. 2.29, which has never given me any problems.

This was news to me. I have downloaded free ver 1.42 and
will see how it works. All I really need it for is opening
downloaded archives, nothing else.

As for paid for SparkFS, I am not sure what the advantages
might be, beyond being able to create archives with it.
Since I do that about once every three years (with Infozip)
I am not sure that that is worth the £25 it costs!

What else would I get for that £25 compared with the paid
version of Spark at £6 (which I also do not have)?
