> zip {target file} {source files}

    Or, right click (or control+click) and select ‘Creative Archive of …’. That’s it.

    Dan, try uploading that to a webserver and extracting the file; It usually makes a mess.

    Or use:

    > zip {target file} *

    and the target file will be appended with “.zip”
