Talk:Zip

I have never used zip but for zip -r myarchive myfolder please use it as the first example. Also make clear that the archive does not only contain all files in myfolder, but also the folder myfolder. I wrote this, but it was reverted. ---ThorstenStaerk
 * You are wrong myfolder will be included anyway. You admit to have never used zip and are giving advice on how to use it ?
 * Do you remember what i told you about scarce manpower on this wiki ? Please use the talk pages for good reasons Thorsten. Please respect other people's time. Questynux 14:01, February 14, 2007 (EST)
 * Sorry for being misleading - I have used zip a lot of times, but productively only in the form of zip -r myarchive myfolder. And yes, myfolder will be included (that was my point) - why not make it clear ?

ok, last time I used zip was in feb-2007, now it's mar-2008 and I am using it again. Today, I had to read again so much blahblah, and I only needed the information how to pack a damned folder. Why not make it simple and discuss options that you rarely use later ? I mean, let's put the most relevant info at the beginning and spare the info no one needs at the end --ThorstenStaerk 15:52, March 27, 2008 (EDT)
