If the software is for personal use rather than commercial distribution, it should be possible to utilise UNC naming conventions (but I think the root directories may need to be shared). Thus C:\test.txt becomes \\MyPc\c\test.txt and D:\test.txt becomes \\MyPc\d\test.txt where MyPc is the networking name of your computer. Thus it should be possible to include the drive in the zip path. I have no idea what the DLLs would make of UNC file names, however my gut instinct is that this could be made to work with a little experimentation. -- James Turner ----------- To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty e-mail message to: delphizip-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and put the word unsubscribe in the subject.
