trying to make a .zip archive on amiga..no luck

[marcfrick2112]

Hello all, please forgive a stupid question... I am trying
to make a .zip archive to send to a friend who has a PC (what
else), and I just can't get it to work... I first tried to
remember how to set it up under Dopus (4.12, I don't like the later
versions) , tried using the settings for 'add to LHA archive'
as a template, didn't work... DL'd a few GUI's for .Zip from
Aminet, all but one wouldn't run, the prog. that ran would only
archive about 50 files, then stop....

Grrrr........

So, anyone able to give the syntax of the Zip command in English,
or an idea about how to set up making .Zip archives using Dopus?
I HAD it working some time ago, but strangely my DOPUS config.
changed.... I can't play .MODs anymore either, but I'll get
to that later....

Many Thanks...

@A4000 Mad:

Well, I couldn't get that config. to work for .zip'ing
files, requester comes up with 'enter arguments' if I try
just putting in a name for an archive, nothing happens....

Oh well, I'll  just tell the guy to use WinRAR, or UltimateZip
which also does LHa and LZX....

Really, I Don't want to use .Zip if I can avoid it...

Thanks guys...

Hey A4000_Mad: You know, I may just take you up on your offer
 :-D  I'm not on my Amiga now, but when I am, I'll send my DirectoryOpus.CFG file.... I'm set up to UNzip and view Zip archives already, strange I can't .zip files...
Edit: I checked, it seems my version of Zip is same as yours, at least size is same...

Somehow, my .CFG file got changed, I think after restoring my SYS: from a backup....suddenly Dopus doesn't do .Zip , .LZX
finally got it to play .MODs again, tho.....
Don't suppose you could set up LZX archiving as well...?  :lol:

A4000_Mad: Thanks for everything.... Yeah, I knew
not to click on the screengrab pic....
But jeez, you had to post a pic of my Dopus screen
for everyone to see ??
(Good thing I don't have buttons with titles like 'BlowUpStuff'
 or 'WatchDirtyMovies'.....

lol....
 P.S. I sent you E-Mail with some viewers, et al. you asked
about....
