[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] ToZip 5.01 by Tom Atkinson

Has anybody gotten ToZip 5.01 to work recursively, as the documentations
suggest should be possible ?

I've tried setting environment variable ZIPDEPTH to 1, as suggested in the
documentation.  I've tried not setting it.  I've tried giving the parameter
ZIPDEPTH=1 as a command line option (because the documentation that came
along with it was so bad, one couldn't be sure what they meant)... nothing
seems to work.

I'm not too hot about Tom Atkinson's software anyway, er, it's simply not
elegant.  It changes the screen colors (why would a command line driven
program want to do that ?) and it produces lotsa unecessary messages.
What I need is a simple program to automatically and recursively convert
.arc and other formats to .zip, but I *don't* want to do it with a mouse-
driven window video game !  Suggestions, anyone ?

Try REARC.  I think I found it in Comp.binaries.sources.ibmpc.  I'm not
really sure.  I used to use it when I downloaded things.
