Even better: get 7-zip, I get much better results than with zip format. If
you have enough RAM, use Ultra mode (uses over 350MB of RAM but sometimes
it's worth it). 7zip can also create .zip files smaller than WinZip,
keeping them compatible with other tools (unlike WinZip 10 "enhanced
deflate" which creates files only readable from WinZip 10). And it's open
source! :)
