$ zip
Copyright (c) 1990-2008 Info-ZIP - Type 'zip "-L"' for software license.
Zip 3.0 (July 5th 2008). Usage: zip == "$ disk:[dir]zip.exe"
zip [-options] [-b path] [-t mmddyyyy] [-n suffixes] [zipfile list] [-xi list]
   The default action is to add or replace zipfile entries from list, which
   can include the special name - to compress standard input.

HTH,
   Martin
