Hello.

I have problems using pkzip25 to zip and unzip with .zip files over
2.5 gb.

Is there any workaround ?

Use WinRAR or a later version of WinZIP which increases the limits.

Thank you for tip...

But do you know of any dos-command programs that will work with this ?

winrar can be used from the command line.

Maybe i'm slow, but what should be the syntax for making a .rar file
in this ?
- c:\test\test

i need to make a rar file that zips the c:\test and all catalogues
under, and offers password protection.
I downloaded the latest rar-version (3.71)

I don't know about it's file size limitation, but I only use 7-zip.
opensource, and better compression than winrar. Very good command-
line as well

I looked at 7-zip over a year ago and it was a little took buggy and new to
be considered for production use. Has this changed now?

Hi,

I use it on all my PCs since version 4.42 and it's stable. I don't
create archive using other format anymore. The command line program is
good too though I haven't try AES encryption with it.

Cheers.
