14013	2001-06-12 09:03:00	Im getting stuck, Thanks to HTH for your batch file advise, but Im stuck. I want to transfer from C drive to E drive ( a Zip100 ) using this command line C:\PKZIP\PKZIP -arp e:\10amzip\1CMR.zip :\1CMR\*.* But it wont work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in anticipation.

If you would like to extract 1CMR.zip the command line would need to be pkunzip and written along the line of location of pkunzip_ file to extract_location to extreact to..ie c:\pkzip\pkunzip c:\1cmr.zip e:\1CMR\ but 1st the destination folder will need to be created. in dos this is done by using the md command. Ie e: <enter> e:\>md 1cmr <enter> To make things simpler you could consider using a product such as winzip (www.winzip.com).. if you just wish to transfer the file you can do this either in dos or in windows itself. In dos this is done via the Move command simmilar to the pkunzip command move_what file_to where ie move c:\1cmr.zip e:\1CMR\ Jess	Guest (0)
