The ZIP functionality that comes with Windows NT >5 has no command line
interface - it's only available through the Explorer shell.

There are ways to roger that shell behaviour via a VBS script, but IMO
the more practical solution is to get the proper tool for the job: a
zipping command line program. I use WinZip's command line adjunct, WzZip
and WzUnzip, but there are quite a few free ones around as well.
