Well it is trying to execute "zip" and not "zip.exe". Are there any other files named "zip" in your exec directory by chance? If there, you could Change your "Pack Command Line" (in SCFG->Networks->QWK->Hubs->VERT) to "%@zip%. -jD %f %s" and that would take care of that. I know of no change in v3.19 that would explain any difference in this behavior.

Another work-around would be to set the "Archive Format" (same place in SCFG) to "ZIP" and then sbbs will use libarchive to create the QWK packet instead of executing "zip". This is actually now the default/recommended configuration, but the old method of shelling out to run zip and unzip should still work fine too (and appears to for most others that have upgraded). So this is weird.
