Zipping Wholehog 2 Show Files

When you wish to zip a show disk into one file (for storage or for sending to FPS), it is best if you can zip the show disk and retain the directory structure. This way the file will unzip into a functioning show disk. This is possible with WinZip, from the RUN command, or from a DOS command line.
