How to zip multiple files

[pubjoe]

I was just wondering if anyone can help me.

I've been trying to find a way of zipping all of my snes roms individually. I've done countless google searches for things like 'multiple compression' and I keep getting instructions on how to compress multiple files into one zip file.

But I want to set up a batch job, to zip all of my roms into individual zip files.

Does anyone know how I could do this?

Thanks in advance.

well... the only way i know howto do it is either with win-zip/winrar manually, or rightclick and goto: Sendto>>Compressed Folder*zip*

When creating a new archive in WinRAR, you can click on the "Files" tab, and then select "Put each file to a separate archive".

(If you have/use WinRAR of course)
