Here's a little snippet I use in my "Robot" program on my BBS. I like to 
save all my logs that are generated. So, I wrote a batch file that runs 
every Monday morning. The batch file "goes around", gathers up all the 
log files, and puts them in my "C:\TEMP" directory. Next, I call the 
following part of my program to archive them:
 
-------CUT--------
'Creates a filename using the current week number.
'Then shells to call an archiver.
 
$LINK "C:\PB32\EXAMPLE\DATEUNIT.PBU"
 
CLS
 D% = DOY(DATE$) 'Gets the current day
 E% = D% / 7     'Calculates the week number
 F% = ABS(E%)    'We don't want decimal places 
 
NewFile$ = "C:\TRIBBS\LOGS\CALLWK" + LTRIM$(STR$(F%)) + ".ZIP"
 
SHELL "PKZIP -EX " + NewFile$ + " C:\TEMP\*.*"
 
END
-------CUT-----------
 
OK...I know it's a small & simple program. But, it has been extremely 
helpful in my operations of my BBS...:)
