This is important for power users wanting to automate zipping and unzipping functions within batch files. Users are no longer limited to DOS 8.3 file names when running in a Windows 95 or Windows 98 command line environment.
Users can extract, store and view LFNs inside a .ZIP archive without truncating the filename.
This version also offers full year 2000 compliance, and several new features and performance enhancements. Now anyone running from a Windows 95 or 98 command line can work with native long file names and not have to think about truncated 8.3 names any longer.
