Honest Injun, Folks, for 6000/6500 format there is very little to be gained in zipping the files for mail attachment.

For a website download you want one convenient file, so you zip for that reason.

For 5000 or earlier formats you should zip to save space, time and bandwidth.

You should learn to zip for all the other things you may want to zip and archive.

The easiest way is Gunnar's.

Highlight the files, right click, and use the zip and email command. A mail will be created with the files already zipped for you.

To create a zipfile in the same folder as your files to be zipped, highlight the files, right click, then add to zipfile. Name the file, being sure to keep the path correct.

To create a zipfile in another location to the files you want zipped, right click, then new, then winzip file. Name the file, being sure to keep the ".zip" extension.
Highlight all the files you want zipped, and just drag them to the winzip file.

To unzip, double click the winzip file, highlight all the files inside, and drag them to a folder or floppy.
