I booted using the emergency diskettes and ran this command line from the
A:> prompt twice:

zip -rSTvEn zip k:\backups\zipc c:\ >k:\backups\c.log

The first time I used zip.exe 122,416 1-09-00 5:34:46 am from zip23x2.zip.
The second time I used zip.exe 124,464 1-09-00 5:32:52 am.

The first time I got these messages:

zip warning: 1st full name c:\desktop\OS!2 system\templates\ Formatted
Trace1.ftf zip warning: 1st full name c:\desktop\OS!2 system\templates\
Formatted Trace.ftf (note that the 1 is missing) zip warning: name in zip
file repeated Formatted Trace.ftf
zip error invalid command arguments (cannot repeat name in zip files)

In addition the second time there was a warning that the TZ variable was
not found so some kind of time could not be used.

So I used the 124k zip.exe and deleted the n zip portion of the command
line and got the same result as the first time.

Will someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

If JIm Davison or Peter Skye reads this, there is no g option in either of
the zip.exe's I used.
