Just to throw yet another suggestion into this mess:
Some have indicated that it may be faster to do "DEL *.*" (or "DEL.", if you
must) than to use PKZIP's "-m" option. Certainly the safest way to avoid
the "-m" would be to do this:
PKZIP -a <zipfile> *.*
ATTRIB +r <zipfile>.ZIP /* or you can use Norton's FA */
DEL *.* /* <zipfile> will not be deleted */
ATTRIB -r <zipfile>.ZIP
That way you don't have to use QU. This is probably the slowest solution,
though. (For those of you to whom each millisecond is vital :-P )
I still think "-m" is the method of choice.
