Hi,
If u want to create a zip file in c++ then search for some libraries which u can integerate in ur code.
With the libraries ur life wlll be easy

Otherwise, you could look up the *.zip file specifications [I know they have to start with the ASCII string, "PK", followed by an integer version number] and implement the LZW compression algorithm on whatever files you needed to compress and store the result as a *.zip file.

This result is especially good if you are interested in methodology rather than ease of programming.
