-c Create/Edit file comments for all files
-ac Create/Edit file comments for all files during update
-C Add comments for new files only
Each individual file contained within a .ZIP file may have a comment
attached to it. Comments are useful for identifying files, especially if
you need to go back months later to look at a file, or if you are sending
the file to someone else. Each comment may be up to 59 characters long,
including spaces and punctuation.
The -c (lower case) option is used when you want to add or edit file
comments for all files within an existing .ZIP file.
The -ac option may be used during the .ZIP file creation process, or
during an update/freshen process. This will add comments for new files as
well as allowing you to edit/add comments for files that were already in
the .ZIP file.
pkzip test.zip -ac license.doc
When each file is added to the .ZIP file you will be prompted for a
comment. Type a comment of up to 59 characters, and press [ENTER]. If
you are updating an existing .ZIP file and there are files which already
have comments, the comment will be displayed on the prompt line for you to
edit. You may make changes or simply press [ENTER] to leave it unchanged.
The -C (upper case) option is used when you want to add a file comment to
new files that are being added to an existing .ZIP file. Files which are
not being added, or files which already existed in the .ZIP file will not
be prompted for comments.
pkzip test.zip -C *.doc
In this situation, you would be adding additional files to the file called
test.zip. Since the file license.doc was added to it in the previous
example, you would not be prompted for a comment for this file.
