macosxhints - 10.3: Use a Folder Action script for easier zip compression12/02/2003 01:47 AM Anonymous: "While Panther's Finder's contextual menu allows Zip
compression of files with its 'Create Archive of ...' this still
requires bringing up the contextual menu, selecting the option .. and
then 'cleaning up' the original file and newly created archive.zip. As
Panther has the attached Folder Actions, I figured this could be used
to shortcut the process and consolidate the file/archive within one
place. Luckily 'Sal from Cupertino' picked up on my query in this
regard, and provided the following script to compile with the
AppleScript Script Editor."
