Hi ,
How to create zip file from command line in winxp without using any
3rd party utility? I have to compress a folder from command .
Regards,

I see cab is fine too..
Regarding zip.. Just so you know.. there are 3rd party utilities that
run from the command line. That doesn't meet your original
specification.
In DOS/Win3.11, People used to use pkzip. pkzip -rp folder , or
pkzip -rp -ex folder. It is still around. Winrar was a shocker in
those days, running in DOS and having a GUI (Dosshell did, but it was
always an unusual thing). (it prob had a command line / CLI, as
well). Then Winzip came along with its semi-free GUI, and right-click
context menu, its friendly nag screen, perhaps around Win9X time.
Winrar is also popular now, and people largely stopped using pkzip.
Anything from the windows resource kit, is not built into windows.
It's not 3rd party, only as a technicality, that it is by MS !
