Just FYI, BOMArchiveHelper is the application that is used when
'right-clicking' on a file or directory from the Finder, and selecting
Create Archive...
(I run MCX environments, and with a restricted environment, this is a
necessary 'allowed' application in order to allow ZIP archiving from the
Finder.)
I used this extensively without problems, before I learned more about
command line utilities, which of course is now my chosen path (CLI).
