Muru,
Winzip will do exactly what you need. It has command line switches that you can use to run it, and we have written a VBScript file that we run with the Windows Scheduler to run at certain times, and it also has a function that generates the current date, and uses it as part of the file name of the .zip file that gets created. I have attached a copy of our VBScript file, slightly modified (removed our system specific information is all) for you to use/modify/do whatever you want with. Also keep in mind that this doesn't HAVE to be a VBScript file, you could do nearly the same thing with a standard Windows batch (.bat) file. I know this because that is what we did before we discovered Windows Script Host and converted to VBScript.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Off topic - Command line zipping utility
Hello Lists,
I have a requirement to programatically zip certain
files on daily basis and move to an archive folder. I
could get a utility from pkware, but I am not sure
whether I can programmatically change zip file name.
i.e. for each date I would like to give 'common<date>'
as file name, so that the file name is unique and I
could locate the file based on date. This
functionality needs to be achieved in NT with a batch
file. Has anybody come across such an utility?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Muru
