Re: Releasing long file anmes in .zip/.tar.gz?

# Victor Porton:
# I work under Linux. Windows archivers do not accept ZIP files created
# by Linux "zip" with long filenames (more than 8.3).

Of course they do, but be sure they are Win32 and not DOS.
e.g.:
zip  - http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/
7-zip - http://www.7-zip.org/
kzip - http://www.advsys.net/ken/utils.htm#kzip
winzip - http://www.winzip.com/ (GUI)

A special case is PKZIP/PKUNZIP 2.50 for DOS which uses the DOS interrupt
provided by the Virtual DOS Machine of Windows 95, 98, ME, but NOT
of NT,2K,XP, to handle long names.
