First it is best to have the files you wish to zip in the own special dir.
Make sure there are no files in that dir that you do nt want included. Then
decide the new zip fi;e name. Lets say form explanaion purposes you want the
file to be called Kaosgame.zip and it is in the dir called C:\oldgame. Your
command line should be like this:

PKZIP KAOSGAME.zip C:\oldgame\*.*    The finished product will show up in the
C:\oldgame dir as Kaosgame.zip and then you can move it to your uplaod dir to
trsnfer it to Darksword. Any file you zip up for tranfer to a bbs should have
a file called FILE_ID.DIZ which tells all about the file with info such as
the desription, the version #, and reguiremenst such as VGA or SVGA, Sound
card required or supported, needs Win 3.1, disk 3 of 6 and so on. Always try
to zip up to the original name whenever possible so that you do not create a
file called KaosgamA.zip when it is already here under it's original name of
Kaosgam1.zip

If the file FILE_ID.DIZ is not included you can create one with any text
editor and add it to the group of files before you zip it. just name sure the
name is exactly FILE_ID.DIZ or the file processor will not find it.
