here is the story: 1. My customer has an old version of Winzip. He can not unzip files more than 2 GB size. 2. I am sending to this customers many games (hugh sized) which are more that 2 GB each. 3. what we did until now is to manually close zip files up to 2 GB and send them seperatly (so he can unzip them one by one). for example: a 7 GB game = 4 separate zip files. 4. He does not have tar or rar or any other unzip mechanizm nor he will not upgrade his winzip version to support more than 2 GB files. 5. I need the zip files to be stand alone - so I can open them by themsleves and not X.zip.001, X.zip.002 which comines together are a part of a bigger zip. got it ?

Hi, Thanks a lot for the quick response.
I have tested the application and here are the details: The application works fine with small size directories (up to 2 GB). When I tried to create stand alone zip files out of a 7 GB directory, only 2 out of 4 zip files were actually created. Also, when choosing the big directory and marking the "scan subdirectories too?" box, most of the time the application gets stuck and I need to restart it (4 out of 5 times it doesn't work).
I am sure this app wasn't meant to handle such a big size directories, but maybe with some minor changes it will. I appriciate your help ! BR, testgames.
