It will take any files dropped onto the icon and convert each one individually into a properly named .zip file. The list is applescript-users at lists.apple.com The archives are at: < http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript- users>. When you get into the archives, look for an entry dated Feb 23, 2009 by Pat Cannon. Copy his script into a new Script Editor window and save it as an application. Drag files onto the resulting icon and it will produce individual files at the same location as the original file. With a little work, you could modify the script to place the zipped files anywhere you want.
