I have just been playing around and threw together zip 3.00 and bzip2 1.05. They can be downloaded here http://www.mgreene.org/wikka/HomePage if you are up to giving them a try.
Zip 3 and Unzip 6.0f: http://www.mgreene.org/pub/ziptest.zip
Contains bzip compression and seems to support large files without much trouble. ;D

Hi Mike
I noticed the unzip options are not the same as with the older versions of unzip. FM/2 cannot open or extract a zip based on the normal unzip options. Mike, do you know what has changed?
I'm not really sure. I have an older version of FM/2 installed and receive and error, but it seems like this is a DosQueryAppType failure because it is looking for unzip32.exe. I rename my zip to this file name and get another error but the archive opens.
Maybe modify the archiver.bb2 file? I do not no enough about FM/2.
Mike
David,
Try to open the archive, when the window comes up press help, and then follow the instructions in the manual. It has something to do with the start and end dashed lines. I finally got it to work.
Seems once setup it even loads the archives made with the -ZBZIP option (bzip2):
3-07-09 13:52 220,277 0 test.zip
3-07-09 15:06 203,696 0 test1.zip
test.zip is zip -9 and test1.zip is zip -9 -ZBZIP
Mike
Ok, this has been tested by someone else who backed up an entire partition. One correction was made, an old define for old versions of Watcom caused a very rare problem. So, I think the updated archive contains a 100% working zip/unzip. Zip 3 and Unzip 6.0f: http://www.mgreene.org/pub/ziptest.zip
Note: also includes a bzip2 that should handle large files - not tested very well.
Here is a readable list of options compiled in to all exe: http://www.mgreene.org/wikka/ZipInfo
If you try this - give me a sign of life :)

Can you attach your archiver.bb2 so I can try your start and end dash lines that you modified?

I gave ZIP/UNZIP a quick try (as if ZIPing, and UNZIPing many gigs of data can be quick). Seems to work.
Thanks...
ARCHIVER.BB2
I am still testing with ZIP/UNZIP. So far, no problems. I have replaced the default ZIP/UNZIP, as installed by eCS 2.0 RC6a, and it works with the Folder-> Pack Tree thing, as well as with the Archive Viewer application. I have not tested all of the options (I don't even understand what most of them are used for), but the basic operation seems to be flawless...
Thanks...
Doug,
Don't feel bad, until I ported zip 2.32 a couple years ago I did not know how many options were available.
