You'll need a library that supports zip compression.

or (maybe awkward (but simple) way to do this) , install the version of winzip which supports command line running, and just do shell("winzip ....." )

yeah, try download PKZIP... then you can just shell out the command

pkzip TargetFileName PathOfStuffToBeZipped

pkzip c:\MyCompressed.zip c:\stuff\docs\*.doc

Doesn't windows have a native zip feature? You could try look for the API calls to use that.
