File: ziptools/ziptools/moretests/_README.txt
The tests here demonstrate ziptool's support for zipping and unzipping symlinks on Unix and Windows, and long pathnames on Windows. These are relatively rare in user content, but are fully supported by ziptools if present. Another folder gives examples of zipping files, not dirs. test-symlinks/ Illustrates symlink support, including advanced features such as creation-time "-atlinks" link following and recursive link detection. These tests were run on Unix (Mac OS X), but are expected to work the same way elsewhere. Note: this folder was originally one level higher in this package, so some paths (e.g., to scripts) in examples may be one level shorter than they are today. test-windows-longpaths-symlinks/ On Windows, exercises both symlinks and Windows long-pathname support. This folder is a direct copy of the same-named folder in the mergeall package, and tests both mergeall and ziptools (their symlink and path support are strongly related). test-simple-files/ Demos zipping individual files instead of folders, with and without Unix-like shell "*" expansions.
