How does one get winzip's command line program wzzip in a version that does
not prompt for a key to continue?

Thx

I grudgingly do but pkzip doesn't retain the full file name, only the 8
character DOS length.

Winzip does retain the full name but requires a user interface. I want to
run it by a command line. That's this wzzip program.

Maybe you could use the utilities from Info-ZIP:

One pays the registration fee for WinZip. Then the command-line interface
programs will not prompt for a key to continue.

Hi JM

You could always start with the manufacturers web-site and see what's available there.
