Again, that's what I wanted to avoid.

AHA! :-D

So my conclusion is, although noone answered my question directly, one cannot ZIP a folder INCLUDING the folder!

But what about unZIPping an archive created from the outside that DOES include a folder or two?
Anyone tried this and succeeded?

And another, more rhetoric question, why can every cheap-o ZIP app do this but RevZip can't?

This was an enhancement request from june 2007 from Bill Marriot himself:
