Bernie,

It was pure laziness that caused me to use, %0.

I wrote one batch routine, and "saved" it as two routines, only having to 
add, "UN" on the REMed out line for one of the routines.

The %0 refers to the filename of the bat program, not including the 
extension, or do I have that wrong?  I use the %0.exe, because I want to use 
the executable and don't want the computer to look for .com files with that 
filename, and then look for and find the .exe file with that filename.

Yes, I have 2.5 but haven't installed it yet.  (I have had it for some time 
also.)

Gawd, I'm lazy!

Two points (not of much use actually):

1. Pkzip/Pkunzip 2.50 has been out a while now ;-)
2. %0 could just as easily be pkzip.bat in the above (or even
c:\mybatch\pkzip.bat). But it isn't likely that it will be something else
on your own system.
