I decided to take another trip into the world of POV-Ray, which I do
infrequently. These three renders were my result. The first, and (I think)
best is attached. the rest can be found here:

Congratulations - you have discovered 2x3x7
And DA's eternal gratitude.
However zip files of jpg files save nothing and may conceal hidden nasties. 
Using zips is just zaphodic.

I agree with DLM.
Depending on the JPGs, you may have some compression, but only minimal, usualy 
less than 1%. Add the header and you may end up with something that is actualy 
larger than the original file(s).
This hold for any compressed, or compacted, format.
Your only "gain" is that you can bundle several files into one.

Yeah, that was the only reason I did it, for the bundling. I didn't realize
until a little while ago you could make multiple attachments. D:
