Question : Command-line zip utility

Hi Experts, I am running MS Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. In the server platform, I could right-click on any folder that I want to zip and select Send To, then select compressed (zipped) folder. Now I want to schedule zip process via the scheduler. Is there any command line zip utility that is available in this platform so that I could write the script to zip all the necessary folder using the scheduler.

Please advice.

TIA.

Yes, it is in the resource kit.  This describes all available windows tools:

Resource kit is here:  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en

I agree that it's compression ratio isn't as good as some other third-party tools, however the request was for not using those.
