If he wanted to use an external program he would of done, why bother to go to the effort of creating a post which clearly states "mIRC script" sheesh
At the time he had yet to make clear his full need, he could have simply had not known that pkzip can be run from command lines completely, no interface to deal with. Thus this direction of question can easily be an acceptable one. If someone had written a request that uses hashtables to store access levels, and you saw you can just assign ulevels to do the job, would it be wrong to say, even tho he said he wanted hashtables?
Even now with what he has said i cant really see a problem with using pkzip to do the job, just uses the zip file like a filesafe pass out each needed file, and pass in when finsihed with.
