You can use the CFX_Zip which is what I use to compress files.
It has the ability to create a ZIP file, update a ZIP file,
uncompress a zip file, etc...
It is on the Allaire site as well.

At this point, we're not storing any information about the files in a db (we
will eventually, but we're not to that point yet). Does <cfdirectory> have
a method for determining the type of file (jpeg, pdf, sit)? In the docs,
the only attribute I saw was "type" and all that seems to do is tell you
whether it's a file or a directory.
And to the post from Randy Adkins ... how do you zip the files once they're
on the server? And what if they need to be a .sit file (the people
downloading these files are on Macs and would probably prefer stuffit
archives).
