'''ZIP''' is a freeware utility that allows the user to create zip archives. It can be run with the [[RUN]] command from the .exe file, or you can create a [[Foreign Command|foreign command]] to run it from the command line:

zip == "$ disk:[dir]zip.exe

=Example=
The following command puts file.dsk into a zip archive named file.zip while preserving VMS file attributes and using better compression.

zip "-V9" file.zip file.dsk

=Sample run=

$ zip
Copyright (c) 1990-2008 Info-ZIP - Type 'zip "-L"' for software license.
Zip 3.01 (October 6th 2014). 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.
If zipfile and list are omitted, zip compresses stdin to stdout.
-f freshen: only changed files -u update: only changed or new files
-d delete entries in zipfile -m move into zipfile (delete OS files)
-r recurse into directories -j junk (don't record) directory names
-0 store only -l convert LF to CR LF (-ll CR LF to LF)
-1 compress faster -9 compress better
-q quiet operation -v verbose operation/print version info
-c add one-line comments -z add zipfile comment
-@ read names from stdin -o make zipfile as old as latest entry
-x exclude the following names -i include only the following names
-F fix zipfile (-FF try harder) -D do not add directory entries
-A adjust self-extracting exe -J junk zipfile prefix (unzipsfx)
-T test zipfile integrity -X eXclude eXtra file attributes
-C preserve case of file names -C- down-case all file names
-C2 preserve case of ODS2 names -C2- down-case ODS2 file names* (*=default)
-C5 preserve case of ODS5 names* -C5- down-case ODS5 file names
-V save VMS file attributes (-VV also save allocated blocks past EOF)
-w store file version numbers -ww store file version numbers as ".nnn"
-y store symbolic links as the link instead of the referenced file
-e encrypt -n don't compress these suffixes
