I know for a fact that EA attribute files do not cause PKzip to hang under NT. I have some of these files hanging around my hard drive, because I cannot delete them. :-} PKzio and Winzip will test the archive witout problems, but, if I try to extract one or more of the files with comma in the name, Winzip hangs, and PKZip gives me: PKUNZIP: (W10) Warning! can't create: thinkpad_701-00D,00F,2SU,2TU,5SU,5TU,7SU,7TU_standard_features.html I am using PKzip 2.04g and WinZip 6.1 and I am working on a FAT16 drive under NT.3.5.1. I can create a file with the same name with a DOS command, so I suspect this is most likely a problem with the version of PKZip I am using. Tomorrow I can try to use the Info-Zip version of unzip, and see if it behaves any better. Serenella Ciongoli
