If I'm not mistaken, they are on your system already.
Do a search for unzip32.exe and zip32.exe. Then do a search for
unzip32.dll and zip32.dll.
If you have them, you should have all 4 of them. If not, log on to
the InfoZip web site to download them.

yea i have played with that and i couldn't get it to work...would that program run on xp tho? i'am not sure why i can't get it to work i must have one of the commad line wrong or something. from what the help file saids it should work...maybe you could shed some light on this
i just want to zip a folder up called c:\test and all the folder that are in that folder using the quiet mode...
then for unzip i just want it to run in the quiet mode and unzip to a dir i tell it to like c:\testprgram\whatever folder
thanks

Try:
runh command.com /k unzip.exe <switches> <files...>
With this method you can skip the batch files.
I'm not sure if command.com is shipped with Windows XP. But you can
replace it with whatever your command interpreter is called.

| Try running the same command line from the command prompt. If that works maybe theres a problem with your code? |

Try this link:
http://www.info-zip.org/
It is made to be a free Windows-based replacement for the old PKZip utilities. These seem to work very well in a command-line environment. And - hard to beat for free!

Hippo - the command works find just that it don't exit ( the zip.exe) so that is why vds hangs there
jwfv - that is what i'am using

I used to have a handy set of zip tools using the Info-Zip command line utilities, but a while ago they all got rewritten to use VDSZip. I could only find one source file that still used it, from a utility to back up folders to a Zip drive. It probably isn't much use in itself, but you can see the command I used to call zip.exe. Note that I don't specify a full path, because the folder it's in is in the PATH string.
| Code: | title Zip Backup

Here's the syntax for command.com:
| Quote: |
Starts a new copy of the Windows Command Interpreter.
COMMAND [[drive:]path] [device] [/E:nnnnn] [/L:nnnn] [/U:nnn] [/P] [/MSG]
[/LOW] [/Y [/[C|K] command]]
[drive:]path Specifies the directory containing COMMAND.COM.
device Specifies the device to use for command input and output.
/E:nnnnn Sets the initial environment size to nnnnn bytes.
(nnnnn should be between 256 and 32,768).
/L:nnnn Specifies internal buffers length (requires /P as well).
(nnnn should be between 128 and 1,024).
/U:nnn Specifies the input buffer length (requires /P as well).
(nnn should be between 128 and 255).
/P Makes the new Command Interpreter permanent (can't exit).
/MSG Stores all error messages in memory (requires /P as well).
/LOW Forces COMMAND to keep its resident data in low memory.
/Y Steps through the batch program specified by /C or /K.
/C command Executes the specified command and returns.
/K command Executes the specified command and continues running.
|
Try ::
command.com /C unzip32.exe <switches> <file1> ...
