Anyone know of a free zip program that has the following features?

1. Command-line interface
2. Can zip large (8GB+) files
3. Uses a standard zip format
4. Doesn't require an install (simply an .exe file run from the shell would be best)



Thanks,
Andrew

I've tried about 6-7 of them that I found on google, but I'm yet to find one that meets all of the qualifications I was looking for.

I know better than to start my search here. :)

Thanks,
Andrew

I kow Winzip and Winrar have the options you want; but they are not free

Looks like IZArc is my best option. Info-zip gave me this error when trying to compress a big file:

zip error: Entry too big to split, read, or write (file exceeds Zip's 4GB uncompressed size limit)

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks,
Andrew
