Re: Zipping files woes and evils. :)

Arpeggio software has a free zip utility that supports encryption (zip
and AES).

annoyed by one thing in particular.

I used to use the zip utility from here,

http://uzaemon.d.dooo.jp/#download

to zip and unzip .zip files on IBM i. However, that product has not been
updated to the latest ZLIB in a long period of time. So when I noticed

that

IBM gave us the CPYTOARCF commands I was happy, but you can't supply

that a

password. And, you always get the full directory path in the .zip and

there

isn't a way to stop that that I know of.

So what do others do for their .zip files? Do you use a commerical

product

or are you using ZLIB with minizip included? Are you building your own?

I'd

love to know as I hate using 3rd party apps if I don't have to.


Thanks,
