Re: [O] Zip utility on Windows for ODT exporter

For Emacs + Windows there is this repo

        http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/

maintained by Eli Zaretskii.

In EzWinPorts, I don't see Zip and Unzip.  But if you write to Eli (he
posted on this mailing list a few days back) he may make a port of this
available.

ps: I am no longer on Windows, but in the past I have used dlls from
GnuWin32 package.
