Re: Hot to Zip files inside an IFS folder

[Joe Pluta <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, I used the wrong syntax for "everything in this folder".  If your 
files all have extensions then *.* works, but if you don't have 
extensions it won't.  I had file1.txt and file2.txt, so it worked for 
me.  :)  The better method is to use the single dot syntax (even though 
that's just not intuitive to an old DOS/green screen guy like me).
