  -b<drive:path>   Create temporary .ZIP file on alternate drive

  Every time a .ZIP file is updated, PKZIP creates a temporary work file.
  When the modifications to the .ZIP file are successfully completed, the
  original .ZIP file is replaced with the temporary work file.  This means
  you must have at least as much additional disk space available as was used
  by the original .ZIP file.

  For Example: If you have an existing .ZIP file of 500K, and you are adding
  another file to it that takes 10K compressed, you need additional
  workspace of at least 510K during the update process.

  This command option will allow you to create the temporary .ZIP file on a
  drive different from the one on which the original .ZIP file resides.
  This allows you to update large .ZIP files when space is limited, such as
  a large .ZIP file on a floppy disk.  Also, by setting this temporary drive
  to point to a RAM drive, you can speed up the operation of PKZIP.

  Immediately following the -b option place the drive and/or path you wish
  to use for the temporary work file.

     A:>pkzip test.zip -bc: order.doc

     C:>pkzip wp.zip -bz:\public wp51\*.*

  Note:  It is necessary to specify a path in addition to the drive letter
         only if you are in a situation where disk space or access is being
         limited by subdirectory, such as on a local area network.
