Jay,

That TI procedure reminded me of my use of PKZIP with the option to Span
Multiple Disks (-&) to make a LARGE .zip file.

I don't know if it would work with TI 10 H but whenever I UNzip a
multiple zipped set of disks I always put the last one in the drive and
then type PKUNZIP and the disk spins and then PKUNZIP asks for the 1st
disk of the set and goes on unzipping the file(s), asking for other
disks in the set as it works.

I still use the DOS PKZIP programs from PKZ204G.EXE at times even though
XP will uncompress zipped files in My Computer or Windows Explorer.

I guess I'll just have to learn to mend my ways and adjust to the new
way of doing things in XP, but I'm NOT planning on upgrading to Vista.

Somewhere I also have a later GUI version of PKZIP but haven't used it
much, so I'm not as familiar with using it either.
