The limit could be the DOS command line length, which is 127 or 128. A
good workaround could be to generate a batch file like this:
set text to zipit.bat
set text on
\\<
>
\cd <>
\Pkzip <> <>
\cd <>
set text off
set text to
=winexec(curd()+"zipit.bat")
If your current directory name is too long, you can replace the
\cd <<set("dire")>>
line with cascading approach to your directory:
\cd \
cdir=curd()
for i=1 to words(cdir,"\")
\cd <<wordnum(cdir,i,"\")>>
endfor
If your directory contains spaces, you may have to add quotes
\cd "<>"
