why would I need a component, when I have zip capability built right into my
windows 2003 serverOS ?
How do I use that?

I don't know, can you find any references to accessing this capability
through an API? I couldn't.

Aslong as you have given sufficient permissions to your server, you should
be able to access it via VBScript.... though you'd need to check the MSDN
VBScript reference to confirm it......

Personally I'd not advise using it though as it's no-where near as complete
or reliable as dedicated zip component's.

I actually don't think there's any API or other interface to it, so I don't
think you can get to it programmatically, unless you can find all the system
calls that are made behind the scenes when you use it in the GUI. Even if
it were trivial (which I doubt), you would likely have to run the ASP page
as a highly elevated user / administrator...

I sure don't see any references for it, no API's listed at all. But
then, I won't vouch for anything not existing on MSDN just because a
search on MSDN didn't find it.

BTW, Google didn't turn up anything either.

(I asked internally also, and was told there is no API. They pointed me at
Java and components instead.)
