my fault.
it should have been
c:\USR\BIN\ZIP %0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
^^
and you can pass an additional parameter for
ZIP dest.zip -r -1 -q -x *.tmp -x *.obj -x *.lst
and you see the limit of this approach. maybe
shift
set ARG1= %0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
shift

shift
set ARG2= %0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

c:\USR\BIN\ZIP %arg1% %arg2% %0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
set arg1=

most likely info-zip is not an DOS program ;)
