The script is running on Sun Solaris with Python 2.1

>>>from zipfile import ZipFile
>>>zip_archive = ZipFile("text1.zip", "w", 8)
>>>zip_archive.write(PathToTextFile, os.path.split(PathToTextFile)[1])
>>>zip_archive.close()

Before starting this process, I am running Unix2DOS on the text file:
Unix2Dos TextFile TextFile

Reason is that the zip file will be opened later in windows (using WinZip
for example).
Hope this answers your question,
