If you want things to work a little more nicely, you could use Zlib (along with some contributed code like Info-zip) to build a zip in code.
This will let you provide progress bars or cancel the operation midway, etc., and will reduce the app's size. It also saves you from oddball bugs when users have quotes or spaces or bizarre Unicode characters in their path :)

Hello,

I have included a custom executable in my Cocoa Application named zip which is the standard command line utility bundled with Mac OS X Tiger. The file is meant to zip the contents of a temporary folder in the ~/temp/somefolder. Is there any known documentation about doing this?

Thanks in advance,
Rick Langschultz
