This has been asked before and the answer was and still is: not supported. :) This box never seemed interesting enough to me to open.

Thanks Don! appreciate the reply. Why it attracts me is zipping up tonnes of small files as you know is alot easier to copy, move and backup.

I have always liked the idea of having a heap of backups using the zip folder to modify the files and when i back them up it takes a fraction of the time.

Because my backups use checksum, running one checksum on a zip is much easier than a checksum of hundreds or thousands of tiny files.
