Dave,

Thank-you for the great news! Our company has already purchased winzip, I am just waiting to receive the registration number. The application is for internal use only, so I should be set.

Best Regards,

Brien R. Givens

You'll need to purchase Winzip (www.winzip.com) and download the command line add-ons from the web site; but confirm this with them first. If you're going to distribute the apps widely you may need a special license from them as well.
