Re: creating multiple zip arhives?

Hello,

The folder structure has about 25 folders in the top level and each of these
contain subfolders and some of the subfolders contain subfolders. Maximum
depth of the structure in 3 levels down.

I need the zip's to and up in the same folder with the source files. These
zip's are used to upload pics to a web site so they need to be zipped
normally in order to meet the web applications requirements. Only workaroun
to this would be to upload all pics manually one by one which takes about 7
years to do ;-)

Thanks
-Will
