Hi
Pkzip version 2.5 does not supoort long file names.
I have downloaded the same from
http://www.electricbbs.com/easylist/examples/custom.html

It clearly states that it does not support this feature

Provide another utility/solution
Vishal.

PKZIP 2.50 DOS does support long file names
providing the operating system does.

It support long file names in a Win98 Dos
box but not in a Dos boot.

If the directory shows LFN it probably will
work.

May be it will work in DR-DOS 7.05.
