zip from command line

How can I specify to use the command 'zip' from a DOS window command line,
as follows:

C:\x>zip *.* me
'zip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Thank you! -Ike

Place a copy of ZIP.EXE somewhere on your path.

Hi there,

well if u use winzip make a copy of winzip32.exe in WIndows directory or
then execute the command winzip32 -e filename.zip folder

where filename.zip is the filename and folder is where yu wana extract..

to add files

use this command
winzip32 -a filename.zip file1 file2 file3.......file n

Other programs also use similar format from command line..
