$[...]The general way I used to create ZIP files
$of everything in a directory was to do this:
$pkzip zipfile *.*
$del *.*
$qu zipfile.zip # i.e unerase the just created ZIP file

   I'm unaware of any bugs in qu that would cause this; however, there is
a bug in your method of moving files into a ZIP.  Why not just use the move
option rather than add?  It adds the files to the archive just like the
implied add above does, and then it deletes the source files if the
add operation was successful.  Try:

pkzip -m zipfile *.*
