To provide an exact answer to the original question, SDL contains the new multi-threaded graphics modes that Baughn implemented a while back, where legacy does not. This means that the SDL version allows those with better graphics cards/processors to get (slightly) better FPS in-game.

As for my unzipping capabilities I am on a mac so the default one covers several things, and then I combine it with stuffit expander to handle basically everything else. (Plus Zipeg to handle a few of those rare off-the-wall compressions dealing with comic books and movies.)

I doubt anyone is going to buy a mac to play DF. Paying hundreds of dollars to play a free game? Not gonna happen. I did spend ~$250 upgrading my machine from the oldest functioning piece of garbage to essentially the newest, most effective motherboard, processor, and RAM combo. The video card we bought three years ago that didn't work? Still doesn't work. And the warranty expired. Have no excuses for not returning it immediately for the full refund.

Windows can handle .zip files by default, but winrar is just fine sicne it's free and easy to use. It begs you from the bottom of it's heart to go back and buy it an upgrade once it "expires," but it never stops functioning. Just close the popup, which only appears if you open a file to view it's contents, but not when you just right click and extract to any folder.
Speaking of; DF doesn't give a shit where it is extracted to. I just put it in a "minigames" folder on my desktop to keep track of it. (At the time I had absolutely no idea how enormous and impressive DF was. And I'm a lazy bastard.)

Congrats... what does that have to do with this tread though? I'm trying to figure it out...
