procedure newzip(opt:integer, zipfile:text, dir:text, lsf:list of text|string, password:text)
procedure newzip(opt:integer, zipfile:text, dir:text, lsf:list of text|string)
procedure newzip(zipfile:text, lsf:list of text|string)

File name of the archive
dir 
Base directory (default: current directory)
lsf 
List of files to store in the archive (file names are relative to the dir directory)
password

Example
The following creates an archive of the Xpress installation including only binary files: 
findfiles(SYS_RECURS,lsf,getenv("XPRESSDIR"),"bin/*;lib/*;dso/*")
newzip(0,"xpress.zip",getenv("XPRESSDIR"),lsf)
Further information
1. This implementation only supports the standard Zip format (only 32bit and basic encryption algorithm).
2. By default file names are represented according the current system encoding in the archive. To select a different encoding use the enc: file name prefix (see Section Character encoding of text files) on the archive name ( e.g. "enc:utf-8,myarc.zip").
