Re: Hot to Zip files inside an IFS folder

The OP mentioned the manifest file - he did not know that the -M option 
will suppress that, as you show in your example.

Which I tried - it gave me an empty ZIP file. The *.* was the problem.

Either of these commands worked for me, after doing the  -

jar -çfM ./my.zip ./*

jar -cfM ./my.zip .

Now it is also possible to specify the directory to change to just while 
the command is executed, so this works, but you have to specify the full 
path to the ZIP file, since the internal CD is not in effect when the 
command is first called -

jar -cfM /myf/g/wrk/l1.zip -C /myf/g/wrk

Vern.
