Sure.... to create:

PKZIP -rp zipname *.* (wildcard optional if files are in the initial
directory, but required if there are only subdirs)

Or

PKZIP -rP zipname *.* (to store absolute pathnames... i.e. beginning
from c:\foo will store all files as 'foo\whatever')

And to unpack:

PKUNZIP -d zipname
