Jordan,

Thanks very much. Your suggestion worked for me.

I had one problem. ZTBold tagged all the files in the in the bramch I
wanted to zip up *and* the ztbold branch. All of these branches are in
the same hard drive partition. I had to untag the files in the ztbold
branch to get the contents I wanted in the zip file I was creating.

Any idea what I might have done wrong?

Jack
