This command works fine in C drive C:\PKZIP -arp c:\112\Test.zip c:\111\*.* But when I use this command, to zip to A drive, it comes up with Cant find drive.... C:\PKZIP -arp a:\112\Test.zip c:\111\*.* Thanks in anticipation.....John jhw@xtra.co.nz	Guest (0)

If you didn't, it may be the reason why it fails. Don't forget that PKZIP is always creating a temporary file where is doing the compressing/updating, saving the file at the location, then deleting the old file, so take care to have enough room on the destination drive, altenatively use the -bc setting.

Im not that familiar with DOS, One last question, what instruction is there for deleting a directory in C drive, then A drive, Do I need to select the drive first to delete a directory within it? Cheers....John	Guest (0)
