Applet for WinZip-like functionality

[Matt Verner]

Does anyone know of a good opensource (or free) applet that will
provide simple WinZip like functionality on a web page? It would just
need to allow the web client to choose from a list of files on their
local machine, compress the chosen files, and then send the contents
to a server?

Thanks.
Matt

There are classes for handling zip files in the JDK:

You'll need to sign your applet in order to get access top the filesystem
though.
