I didn't use a batch file because I like Ruby more.  ;-)  Also, this is just
a snippet from a much bigger program I wrote that's a bit over 1000 lines.
Is it true that I would not have to use ftools?  I though it was necessary
for Dir.chdir.  I could easily be wrong since I'm a n00b.  Thanks for the
input, Nobu.

You don't need ftools.rb here.

BTW, why isn't it enough with a batch file, or a shortcut?

@echo off
cd c:\LogFiles
"/Program Files/WinZip/WZZIP.EXE" -m C:\Logfiles\Archived.zip *.log
