----------------------------- >From PKzip (2.04g) manual.doc ----------------------------- Under the current memory scheme of DOS the largest number of files which may be in a .ZIP file is approximately 9000 files. The maximum number of files you can handle with a .ZIP file operation can be calculated by the following formula: (Free Conventional RAM - 85kb) / 64 bytes The 37mb zip-file which we were talking about has many more files than this.
