as it is a dos limitation (and not of any software), think that you will not get a validy response.

On this note, I am looking for a way to use PKZip to span across multiple floppies. I use the -&, but in NT 4.0 that does NOT seem to work. Yes, I am exiting to DOS to run my Zips and Unzips.

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).
