I have a folder in OS/2 with .log files. I need to zip them into 1 file but the file is going to large so it will have to span more than 1 3.5 floppy. This is the command i thought would work but it doesn't pkzip -& a:\ *.log
I'm doing this is the dir of the log files. PS i got it to create a zip file on c: by not using the -&.

How can i get the zipfile to span disks or how how i get the zipfile i already created onto 3.5 floppies. I'd prefer getting it on disks without storing it on my hard drive but i need anything that will work. Thanks

Do you realize how long its been since most of us used pkzip? :p

According to the FAQ (DOS faq):

4. How can I compress my entire C drive using PKZIP? The command to compress you entire C drive would be: pkzip -&amp; -rp a:\backup.zip c:\*.* The -&amp; is the option that indicates you wish to span the .ZIP file to multiple diskettes. The -rp option indicates you wish to preserve the path structures. If you want to backup a drive other than your C drive, use: pkzip -&amp; -rp a:\backup.zip d:\*.* This would backup your entire D drive. You can substitute any drive letter for d: on the above command line.
