Call me a wrecker, but I still do not get it, and I read the docs! When I want to dispatch a bunch of files, I usually put them separately in an empty folder so they do not get mixed up with anything else (such a simpleton!), then I say a magic phrase zip file_name *.* and you know what, in a flash I have a spanking new file_name.zip, which is usually only about one third the size of the original. The unfortunate guy at the other end then usually puts the file in an empty folder so it does not get mixed up with anything else (you see, we, simpletons, stick together) and utters even a simpler magic phrase unzip file_name Try it, you would not believe it.
