PKZIP and Windows XP
Going through some old backed up files, I came across my licensed, legitimate
copy of PKZIP 2.04g, a DOS-based, 16-bit zipping program. Does anyone know or have any experience with using this ol' chestnut on a 32-bit Windows XP Home (with SP-3) operating system? I was thinking of using the command prompt box..... Thanks! Jim

So, what's stopping you!? Do you need to get permission from someone here? Good grief!

Jim Been a long time. Should work from the Command Prompt. However, cannot remember whether or not long file names got truncated to 8.3 standard.
