Re: How to zip a file on From Unix shell script

You can use compress or gzip to compress a file. compress -v [filename] should compress the file and tell you the percentage as well. Gzip is a GNU utility that may be on your system. These utilities may not be in your current path. RWB WLSH [EMAIL PROTECTED]@fatcity.com on 10/16/2002

Re: How to zip a file on From Unix shell script

RWB is correct - and the good news is that WinZip (a likely program at the destination of your email) handles tar-ed and compress-ed files fine. Of course it may pay to add the .zip extension to the filename so that the mail client knows what to do with it.
