Reconstructing "King's Quest"

You can use PKzip. The command to span multiple volumes, recurse subdirs,
and compress maximally is (example for directory FOO):

Pkzip -rex&fu a:foo.zip foo

This will take a directory, it's files, and all it's subdirs into file foo
on a:. Pkzip will prompt you for additional floppys as required.

Regards,

Jeff
