Zipping multiple databases

Does anyone know of a utility that would allow me to zip a list of muliple databases located in different directories?

Scenario: each quarter I prepare about 40 databases that need to be emailed to various people within our company. In some cases, the security on Outlook does not allow an mdb attachment and I have to zip the file in order to send it to about 1/4 of the people - although the list is getting longer each quarter as computers and software are upgraded.

So far I have been manually going through the directories and zipping the individual files on an as needed basis.

I was able to find a wonderful download at www.peterssoftware.com that will take a list of files, in any directory that you specify, and compact, repair or backup the file. It works wonders. I was hoping for something similar that would zip them instead of compacting them.

Thanks in advance,
