I tried to use the latest incarnation of Zip, at least I think it's the latest. Zip19Lx is what I have. Anyway, Zip is on a floppy, the file I wanted to deflate is on my HD. After CD DF0: I typed Zip DH0:OnLine!/WR; WR being the file I want deflated. but the response I get is, " nothing to do OnLine!/WR.zip". I tried several variations, but always the same result. I don't use zip too often for deflation so I checked the docs, but they were of no help. I ended up using an older version of PKAZip. I would still like a hand with the newer Zip, if someone can, I'd appreciate it. —Speeding along at 14400 via AutoPilot Lou Yurcsak

Lou, You have to tell ZIP what you want it to do, in your case, extract the files. zip -x dh0:online!/wr That will extract the files onto the floppy. If you want to extract the files to the HD, then change directories to the HD and type DF0:zip -x wr Don

That must be a newer Zip than the one I'm using. The one I have won't uncompress, there's a seperate file called UnZip for that.
