[X-Unix] zip from command-line in Tiger

[Eric F Crist]

Hrm, I wouldn't be so quick to 'dog' the command-line integration.   
It is apparent that you were incorrect in your assumption that zip  
was the command you needed, whereas ditto was the correct/ 
corresponding command to the Mac archiver.

I'm glad you found what you were looking for!
