How to zip a folder?

[Stephen Barncard]

Tiemo,

I've been down this road before.
Check out the Linux/Unix command

tar


it will 'tar' together the hierarchy into one file, which then can 
easily be zipped.
It not only preserves the files and folders in situ, but also EMPTY 
folders that are required to place the files in exactly the same 
spot.   This allows dropping say, an 'update' folder on top of 
another foldrer and only the files that are represented in the tar 
folder will change  in the receiving folder.
