How to Append Zip Files Together
Archive files, otherwise known as Zip files, may be opened and manipulated by a file archiving program such as PKZip, WinZip or WinRar. Once a Zip file is created, the file may be appended with additional files by adding the files to the existing archive. By archiving files into Zip or Rar archives, the file sizes are compressed and several files are combined into one archive file. The archive may be easily electronically transmitted via email or download/upload on the internet.
