I Need A Command Line File Zipper

Hi all,
is there any blitz DLL function which allows me to zip and unzip a file from within a Blitz application ?

Alternatively, is there any FREE 'winzip.exe' which accepts commands from the command line ?

I need to compress a file on-the-fly from within blitz; to do so, I could also call an external program via ExecFile(), but I don't know where to find a good and free file compresser.

The newest version 9 of WinZip does come with a command line feature, but it's not free, and - I guess - it's not re-distributable.

Another alternative, since I'm interessed on audio files, would be a FAST and FREE .wav to .ogg converter.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sergio.

Never mind, I've found gzip.
