Can Lharc or Zoo archive a whole directory tree.
If so how ?
I've tried various combinations but to noavail... only copying files..
I'm sure it must work because extractions definitely pass directories
with x//...
......... So what is the syntax

Zoo in itself won't, but it will accept a redirected input. There
is a program called MYDIR (I believe it's on a fred fish disk) that
can be used to create such a file.
Example:
> CD THE_DIRECTORY
> MYDIR >DIR_FILE.TXT
> ZOO aI <DIR_FILE (or some such similar nonsense)
The instructions come with the MYDIR program.
WARNING: If you make a mistake with MYDIR (improper wildcards,
forgetting the arguments, etc), it almost always gurus the system.
When properly run it works perfectly.
In LHARC, I use the following command like to include "where I am
and all subdirectories". Defining an alias makes it easier.
LHARC -x -r -m -a a archive_name
(can't remember if a *.* or "#?" is needed for the filenames
parameter offhand).
It's the -r that tells it to do the job.
