To pack use: pkzip -arP ArchiveFile SubdirectoryName/*.* To un-pack use: pkunzip -d ArchiveFile I did it from the root directory and specified the sub-directory so that when I unpack it, it will recreate the whole directory structure. I used 1.10 and it works fine. Don't forget the -d on the unpack or you will be left with the whole directory structure in the directory you unpack it to!! Dennis donovan@atexnet P.S. It took me a few tries to get this syntax. It wasn't completely clear from the documentation. -- Dennis Donovan donovan@atexnet "Nobody asked, just my opinion"
