My apologies to have compat names on removable drive you need
zip.SpanOptions := [spCompatName, spNoVolumeName];
I so rarely use floppies that I tend to forget - my drive enjoys eating
floppies so I don't use them with split zip files!
Where ever possible we try to keep backward compatibility but sometimes
there must be changes to allow for added features (compat names caused a lot
of headaches). I would have preferred to have to select to use Volume Names
but unfortunately that would have broken a number of programs (as we found
out and had to change things yet again!).

Dear Arek,
I faced the same problem a few months back, which I posted here also.
You make a lot of changes to the code.
The original codes only support this naming method for hard drive.
When using diskettes, it branches off to other codes which does not support
it.
When I started to modify the codes, one line leads to another, so I ended
with a lot of customized code for my project.
This makes it difficult for me maintain when new versions of Zipmaster were
release that included changes along those lines that I modified.
I gave up and decided not to use this kind of naming scheme for diskettes.
Any new progress on this issue, guys?
