Actually, that doesn't work because the cd system() call executes in a 
separate subprocess, so the zip system() call that executes in its own 
subprocess can't see the changed directory.  You need to execute both 
commands in the same subprocess, so you would have to write it like 
this:

system("cd /Users/autie/2testing; zip -r zipped_rails_app4 ./dir3")
