I know that XXCOPY properly duplicates short file names when 
performing a copy operation (assuming destination folders are empty, 
or contain no file with an SFN that is the same as the SFN of a 
source file). My issue is this: I'd like to use a command line file 
compression utility in combination with XXCOPY. Specifically, I'd 
like to copy a folder(s) using XXCOPY, then run the command line 
version of Winzip (or equivalent) to compress the destination folder
(s). My problem is, I don't trust that the ZIP utility will properly 
duplicate the SFNs when it zips or unzips the files. Does anyone 
know of a compression utility that does properly duplicate short file 
names?
