Doesn't exactly asnwer your question, but I use the high compression of
7zip. The program to use it is free online.

You mean, 7zip is freeware? Does it compress better than Winzip 9? If
it uses it's own compression method, can you make .exe files smaller
than with winzip 9?

Now I'm considering sending .exe files from winRAR - with large
uncompressed files, it does make smaller files compressed .exe files
than winzip 9 .zip files.

Go to http://www.7-zip.org/
This program compressed one of my directories 40% smaller than Winzip 7.0!
Try it.
It's free.
