 AI> Hello Alan,

 AB>> So how about other zip suggestions.

 AI> There are so many options to zip stuff. When working at the command line
 AI> I have been useing Info-Zip's Zip and Unzip since OS/2 many years and now
 AI> I still use it on linux.

 AI> In a lot of cases PKWare's PKZIP and PKUNZIP is a good option too, a lot
 AI> of software is pre-configured for it.

 AB>> I am really stuck at the defintion point of the program.

 AI> Archiver command lines can be a real PITA. I don't know what software you
 AI> are trying to configure but I could share what I use with HPT if it would
 AI> help.

 AB>> I cannot proceed without them.

 AI> In the FTN world it is possible to just use raw .pkt files between nodes,
 AI> then no archivers are needed but the Info-Zip and PKWARE products are
 AI> usually workable in my experience although there may be a road to travel
 AI> there. :)

 AI>  Ttyl :-),          Al
