When zipping, specifiy option -rp (tell it to recursively store the
directories and save the path name for each file). Also, when unzipping,
use the option -d (to create directories). I have used this many, many times
and it works like a charm....

Example:   pkzip -arp foobar c:\test     (this will store all files in test
                                          and all of test's subdirectories
                                          and files in them.)

           pkunzip -ed foobar d:         (Makes directory d:\test and all 
                                          subdirectories and puts files in 
                                           them.)
Hope this helps......
