I have no idea how to zip files. I don't even know enough to ask any 
questions. Help please.

RJ,

Are you on a Windows machine? I don't use them myself but my understanding is
that most if not all Windows PCs come with a program called WinZip that will
enable you to create ZIP files from your patches. Creating a ZIP is very easy,
if my understanding of WinZip is correct; you simply place all the patches you
wish to share into a folder, then drag that folder into WinZip. It will be
compressed into a ZIP file that contains the same data in a much smaller file
size.

On the Mac, which is what I use, a similar program is Aladdin's Stuffit
Deluxe, which isn't free but which everyone should have a copy of (it's just
too useful to do without). Aladdin makes a big deal of their own SIT archival
method, but Stuffit Deluxe will also create ZIP files if asked, and ZIPs are a
lot more universally usable than SIT files. (I think there's a SIT extractor
for Windows, and it's free, but it's not something a PC would commonly have
around.)

Jimmy,

I've always adored reading your messages but this one is the greatest!

1. You have to have a zip program installed.
2. Then go and click any file in any folder with right button and point "Add
to archive.." option and you're going to find a zipped file in the same
directory.
3. You may play with variations above (after right-clicking) or run the zip
icon and fight with all options.

Have a fun
greets from Poland

Jimmy,

Just like to add to Piotr's instructions that you can download Winzip (fully working trial version) at www.winzip.com. Install it, right click the folder/files you want to zip and choose "Add to zip-file...". I think you can figure the rest out by yourself. If not, just ask!

Greets,
Bjorn
