Looks fine so fr but there is a bug. ZIP.exe is unix devirat and like 
anything in unix it does NOT interpret a dot '.' like DOS. *.* means 
"anything that owns a filename containing at least one dot" But a file 
like abc is NOT containing a DOT in its name, zippling it woult fail 
without any notice because it does NOT match the filemask.

Hint: use simply '*' (even in cmd.exe or other os2 related apps) when 
you means anything. Use only '*.*' when you means really match a name 
containing at lest one '.' somewhere in it. '.' is not even in HPFS a 
special character as in FAT wheras that gets ommitted from the name 
stored into the physical directory structure.
