PKZIP and Windows XP

J

Jim

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

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.
