I have been executing a test copy of WinZip using RUN /N, which is crude, but functions. The command line parameters for WinZip, similar to those for old PKZip, are available at
http://www.winzip.com/xcmdline.htm but not in the actual WinZip help menu. I don't think winzip supports OLE Automation. I found the zLibtools site mentioned in that other thread you mentioned, and am now looking into that.
