Alright folks, maybe someone out there has an idea of a
product I can use. Here's my situation.

I have an inhouse app that sends and receives data to our
remote folks. I need some sort of zip program that I can
call out in a batch file or through some script to zip up
files from a directory and unzip another file and dump the
contents somewhere specific.

- The solution needs to be a _single_ executable that I
can remotely push out and not require and license entry or
install by the user.

- The solution needs to be able to handle greater than 8.3
file names both inside the compressed file and the
compressed filename itself.

- The solution needs to be able to be run at a Windows
2000 command prompt.

PKzip 2.5 would work fine except that it requires a
license entry on each machine it is used on.

We don't mind paying for a product that works, I just need
to be able to make it as seemsless as possible for the
clients.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
