My good PF, May I suggest you download WinAce? It's such a good program. I've ditched WinZip as soon as I could.
If you decide to adopt WinAce, I'm willing to mail it to you, or even post it here.

Found out I needed to upgrade to newest Version of winzip. got it and now zipping some of the B5 stuff. Now my problem is that the shrapnel mod forum is choking on the zip file (it's ONLY 17 MB )...

Try this:

Right click on the folder and click ADD TO ZIP.

See if that works for you.

Default Re: How the heck does one..

my preference goes to winrar, i dont like winace. i have it somewhere and if i realy need i can use dos-based unpacker for ace, but .rar or .zip are far more common than .ace.

edit: still, i believe somewhere there is the button to compress file and folder structure as is. you do, however, need to right-click on the folder to compress it. (right click, winzip, you know from there)

My preference is WinAce. Kickass compression. Winrar is also very good.

WinRAR and WinAce compress about the same. It is just WinZip that sucks. It doesn't even make very well compressed (compared to other programs) Zip files...
