   Suppose I want to archive all the files with a .abc extension on   
   a particular drive using zip.  One might expect that the -r option,   
   which recurses into directories, would do the trick, but if I use   
      
   zip -r ABC.ZIP M:\*.abc   
      
   I get the messages:   
      
   zip warning: name not matched: M:\*.abc   
      
   zip error: Nothing to do! (ABC.ZIP)   
      
   yet there are most definitely files with the .abc extension on   
   drive M, as a DIR *.abc /S command shows.   
      
   Is this a bug in Zip, or am I not understanding the way it is   
   supposed to work?   
      
   It's an old zip (2.0.1 by Kai Uwe Rommel), but it supports the -r   
   option (partial listing of its built-in help):   
      
   Zip 2.0.1 (Sept 18th 1993). Usage:   
   zip [-options] [-b path] [-t mmddyy] [-n suffixes] [zipfile list] [-xi list]   
     The default action is to add or replace zipfile entries from list, which   
     can include the special name - to compress standard input.   
     If zipfile and list are omitted, zip compresses stdin to stdout.   
     -f   freshen: only changed files  -u   update: only changed or new files   
     -d   delete entries in zipfile    -m   move into zipfile (delete files)   
     -k   simulate PKZIP made zipfile  -g   allow growing existing zipfile   
     -r   recurse into directories     -j   junk (don't record) directory names
