    Zip files using VB6

    I would like to zip files (all sub-folders and files inside a folder,
    but not including that folder).
    I have read several articles on the Internet, teaching me using .dll
    like Info-zip, Zlib, C..., PKZip, etc.
    However, I always meet run-time error!
    And one more problem is that, I don't want future users installing a
    zip utility before they can use my program, as the main function of my
    program is to back-up files in their systems.

    I've searched in Google, and discovered here.
    I've read a article about the "zip folder" function in Windows XP.
    (That reminds me there is such a function in Win XP =.=")
    That means Windows XP has the ability to create zip files, right?
    So, how to use VB6 to create a zip file (including those folders and
    files I've mentioned above), and how to unzip as well?

    Thanks!!!

                  I've read an article about InfoZip in vbAccelerator, but when I run the
                  program, I met a run-time error.
