Can I use winzip command in DOS command

Currently I use zip.exe for the data file archiving and am considering
using winzip.
I like to know if winzip command can be used in DOS command line
instead of Windows interface.
I use following zip.exe command from perl program.

zip -rt 03152007 new.zip mypath

This command is to compress the files which are older than 03/12/2007
in mypath and create new.zip file.

 

Correction, older than 03/15/07. Stick with PKZip if you're really
wanting to use the command line.

 

www.winzip.com you did try?

You mean like this?

That won't work either because there is no 15th month.

Don't be silly. It's 09/16/2007.

 

I couldn't agree more, there is no 15th month. But there is a third
month and a 15th day. Which is how the date notation works in the U.S.
You antipodeans, along with the limeys, do it the opposite way.

 

That would be the other way, 1/3rd get it wrong 2/3rds get it right.

Although using the ISO format YYYY-MM-DD works.

Other commonly used notations are e.g. 2/4/95, 4/2/95, 95/2/4, 4.2.1995,
04-FEB-1995, 4-February-1995, and many more. Especially the first two
examples are dangerous, because as both are used quite often in the U.S.
and in Great Britain and both can not be distinguished,

Even this bit infers the yanks are slipping

A remark for readers from the U.S.:

The 24h time notation specified here has already been the de-facto
standard all over the world in written language for decades. The only
exception are a few English speaking countries, where still notations
with hours between 1 and 12 and additions like a.m. and p.m. are in wide
use. The common 24h international standard notation is widely used now
even in England (e.g. at airports, cinemas, bus/train timetables, etc.).
Most other languages do not even have abbreviations like a.m. and “p.m.”
and the 12h notation is certainly hardly ever used on Continental Europe

For zipping and unzipping in DOS you use the free program PKzip which
works in DOS. the commands are pk zip and then you give the path to the
zipped file, then you give the path to where you want the file put and
to unzip it you give the command pkunzip then the paths.
