Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

New features for this version include full support of Windows 95 or Windows 98 long file names. You are no longer limited to DOS 8.3 file names when running PKZIP in a Windows 95 or Windows 98 command line environment. You can extract, store, and view long file names inside a .ZIP archive without truncating the filename.

PKZIP 2.50 for DOS uses the classic PKZIP 2.04g command line syntax, and it can be used with existing batch files and scripts with no changes. Additionally, PKZIP 2.50 for DOS increases the file storage limitation from 5,000 to over 16,000 files stored in a single .ZIP archive. The ability to store more files in a .ZIP archive is a great benefit to anyone doing backup and restore operations using PKZIP. For the advanced user, PKZIP 2.50 for DOS uses DOS Protected Mode Interface (DPMI) in Windows 95 and 98, OS/2, and other DPMI-supported environments to run 32-bit code for better and faster compression performance. PKZIP for DOS also offers full year 2000 compliance.
