If you want good command line zip capabilities...take a look
at Info-Zip http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/

Not sure how well (if) it handles spanning disks.  It does allow
you to create embedded directories from an arbitrary root...
something I couldn't get WinZip to do.

Supports long filenames...

It is also portable...runs on DOS, Win95, NT, Unix, Mac, lots more...
and it's free (yes...free, not shareware...freeware).

Regards,
Chris
