Zipping a Project with PKZIPC - E2 Error message

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I'm migrating from one PC to another and trying to backup my projects.  My default zip program (and only one available at this time) is PKZIPC.  When I try to zip the project, I get an error in the PKZIPC DOS window which states:
"PKZIP:  (E2) Ambiguous option or command specified - a".  When I get this error, the zip process stops and is aborted.  How do I correct this?
Thanks,

Steve

Try typing PKZIP /? to get a list of valid commands. This will probably show that '- a'  or a by itself is not a valid command switch or option.

The easier way to move you data is to get an external caddy, remove the HDD from the old computer, insert it into the caddy and hook it up to the new computer.

Make sure all your programs have been installed before you do the next step...

Once the computer recognizes the drive, it's just a matter of copying all the data from one drive to the other. If you are using a different O/S (Win 7 or Win 8 as compared to Win XP for example) you will need to find the new locations for various files and directories.

Do NOT copy any of the actual software. Just the data files which include all your dwgs, project files and so on.
