Command line switches in XP

[Tckazz]

I am attempting to run pkzip from a batch file like this:

pkzip -& A:mybackup *.*

(zip up the files in the current directory, across a spanned set of disks on the A: drive and name it mybackup.zip)

This works on my windows 98 machine fine.
When I run it on the computer with XP it is as the command switches are not there.
Everything after "pkzip" is not being acknowledged.
I have a friend with XP and it worked fine for him.
Any ideas what/where are the settings that I can set in XP to make the switches work.

Thanks in advance.
TC.

What version of PKZIP are you running? Old versions used -&. This is no longer necessary (v2.50)

pkzip -add a:\mybackup *.*

(actually there is a -Span option but it is on my default)

Am using pkzip version 2.04g.
Maybe I should try using a newer version of pkzip?
