zlib and zip archives

[alin at tumbleweed.com]

Hi,

It sounds stupid but I really don't have a clue:

How do you use zlib to create a zip archive using the pkzip format?  I
looked through the documentation, it seems no where indicates that it
supports the zip archive format?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Anne
