You have to create the folders/zips first. It's only sample code I did not do a full blown application as people want to incorporate the code within their own bigger scripts.
This creates a empty zip file. IE it writes to a file. Find your own empty zip and type in Start Run
edit /70 "c:\yourzip.zip"
Using binary view (the /70) means edit shows the character code in the status bar.
PK<a club (code 5)><a spade (code 6)> followed by 18 nulls (Code 0)
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = fs
penTextFile("c:\Test.zip", 8, vbtrue)
BlankZip = "PK" & Chr(5) & Chr(6)
For x = 0 to 17
BlankZip = BlankZip & Chr(0)
Next
ts.Write BlankZip

A new zip file is easly created (look at a new one - it's 14 bytes of mostly null but starting PK). This uses Shell commands rather than File commands. We are working with shell objects that merely happen to be files.
