WinZip Command Line Add on description
Use WinZip directly from the command prompt and scripts.

The WinZip Command Line Support Add-On is a FREE add-on for users of WinZip 9.0 with a valid license. Before installing this add-on, please make sure you have installed WinZip 9.0.

The WinZip Command Line Support Add-On provides a command line interface that gives you the power of WinZip without the usual WinZip graphical user interface. It allows you to use WinZip directly from the command prompt and from batch (.BAT) files and script languages, making it ideal for automating repetitive tasks. An extensive set of command line options gives you pinpoint control over WinZip's actions. And, in automated environments, end-users need not know anything about how to use WinZip.

This version of the WinZip Command Line Support Add-On offers AES encryption and supports the 64-bit extended format, which for all practical purposes eliminates the existing restrictions on Zip file size and capacity.

Note: On August 26, 2004 WinZip Computing released the WinZip Command Line Support Add-On 1.1 SR-1, a maintenance release of the WinZip Command Line Support Add-On 1.1 containing important security-related fixes and improvements.
