Of course you can use PKZIP.EXE or PKUNZIP.EXE. As an FYI, if you go to - http://www.winzip.com/wzcline.htm

And download the command-line add-on - http://www.winzip.com/getsite.cgi?wzcline.exe

If we look at one of our batch jobs, we see:
code:
"c:\program files\winzip\wzzip" -u -p -r -xtranslog.* d:\tables.zip d:\backup\tables\*.*

:: wzzip [options] zipfile [@listfile] [files...]
:: -f freshen
:: -u update
:: -p store folder names
:: -r recurse folders
:: -x exclude file(s)

Have fun!
