Both you and Len said to use RevZipOpenArchive.
That is what I used and the docs say to check the
result for any errors.  I did and the result said it is
not a Zip Archive.

After reading all the replies and have decided not
to bother using RevZip.

thanks,

Yes, see this bug <http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi? id=5088>
It happens if you add or remove files from a zip that was not
originally created in Revolution.

 Also I don't see any command to open a file that is not a
 zip archive and compress it unless I already have a zip
 archive open.

You need to specify a file name, open that file as a zip archive ready
for updating, add new files to it, then close the zip file. Check the
docs for the following commands:
    revZipOpenArchive
    revZipAddItemWithFile
    revZipCloseArchive

 Is RevZip used only for some special RevZip files or is
 it for any Zip Archive?

In theory, it works for any zip file, but at the moment, you can only
edit zip files created in Rev. Unfortunately, this makes the zip
library almost useless, since the only way to test whether a zip file
will work is to risk corrupting it permanently and losing any data in
it.

Cheers,
Sarah
