Hi Folks! Is there a utility that can compress all files in a directory, including those in its subdirectories, and store the archive on several disketts, like 'backup'? I know that 'lharc' compresses the subdirectories too, but one must always worry about the size of the archive to fit one diskett. thanks, --Mohammad Ghodsi ghodsi@shire.cs.psu.edu

It's great! George Wang University of Illinois Gcw20877@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu

ZOOX, an enhancement of Rahul Dhesi's ZOO program, was recently posted in comp.binaries.ibm.pc. Zoo already supports directory trees; ZOOX adds multivolume support. regards, Larry -- Signed: Larry A.
