pacomp -a -saa"a -e2 -p myfile.zip myfile.txt

... but this doesn't work because the quotation mark is interpreted as the beginning of a string.

I tried escaping the " sign with "", \" and ^", but nothing of this works (in fact, with "", pacomp created a file but with the password aaa instead of aa"a ).

Any advice? Thanks!
Thanks - Mili will write it up for upcoming release...
