Where R U with your Clipper app?  Windows?  Dos?  Simple Clipper?  What
linker Blinker?  Do you make Windows executables? (C4W, 5W)  Please give
some more info, so we can really know what to say.

Rajesh

If your using Blinker then you can use swpruncmd() to run pkzip.

Make sure you use the -3 command line argument to pkzip if running under NT
(and probably W2K)

Try Info-Zip's "ZIP" and "UNZIP" tools, at

http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/40006.shtml

"Zip 2.3 is a compression and file packaging utility.  It is
compatible with PKZIP 2.04g (Phil Katz ZIP) for MSDOS systems."

The free C source code is at 

http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/40005.shtml

and lots of other sites. I have used it in Clipper

command := "zip -r test *.*"
run (command)
