Post by Lars Erdmann I tried zip.exe version 2.8.1 but that will fail. Will newer versions of zip.exe work ? Will 7zip work ?
p7zip Version 9.20 (locale=de_DE_EURO.IBM-850,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,1 CPU)
Zip 3.x should also succeed at packing large files. There's always tar and gzip, bzip2 or xz as well. 7zip and xz will generally compress the best Dave
Can stuff, added to eCS 2.x, including documentation, be distributed in such a way that users of 1.x can install new components in exactly the same subdirectories?
As such an "improvement" may be hardly worth installing it, but it would be better when an upgrade of the OS doesn't result in multiple copies of the same components.
FWIW, ZIP 3 also isn't distributed as an upgrade which just has to be UNZIP 6'ed in the root directory of the boot drive.

I use ZIP.EXE 3.0.6 all the time, for large files. My data/programs disk ZIPs up into file about 12 GB, and that includes more than one file that is larger than 2 GB (one is about 10 GB). Yes, they do unzip properly (UNZIP.EXE 6.0.5).
