Rocky, good thinking -- unfortunately it's a case of "can't do this,
can't do that".

PKZip (but not Zip) allows for spanning. But PKZip can only handle
about 2,000 files. So I can't use PKZip and I can't use Zip.

But Rocky, there's been a benefit for _you_ in all of this. While my
Zip tests were running this weekend (it takes a while to zip up 2 GB) I
was able to test the AUTHINFO keyword for SMTPAUTH.
