You can script it in pure mIRC script, I know mIRC doesnt have zip functions. You can create a .ZIP file with the mIRC binary functions if you understand the gzip format. This is what I was getting at.

Anyway I'm past this now,... I've moved on I realise ZIP isn't suitable, I'm looking for a simple folder/file packaging solution which fulfills the criteria layed out in my previous post. Thanks all for you help.
