I want an app running unattended on a Windows VM to zip up a folder

I've not used the revZip library before: when I look at it the first
thing I notice is that first step, according to the Dictionary is:
Use the revZipOpenArchive command to load a zip archive into memory
It's the "into memory" part that bothers me. The folder is probably
around 125 - 150MB in total; the zip file I'd expect to be 25MB. I
know that we sometimes run into horrible memory problems on these
Windows VMs, so this makes me nervous.
It doesn't load the whole archive into memory - just the 'central directory' -
which is the list of files which are present in the zip.
Extracting data from the zip file occurs when you request it - and then only
the bits you ask for.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
