Thank you, Gustav.  

That approach would probably do the trick.  I'll have a look at the cab
option, too.

Hi Donald

One method could be to replace the direct call of Winzip in the command
line with a call of a batch file.
This batch file should run Winzip and then create a log file:

echo Winzip completed > winzip.log

or similar.
Then test for the existence of the log file; it will not be created
before Winzip has finished.

You may also wish to check out cab files in favour of zip file. If I
recall correctly they could be faster at adding single files, indeed for
extracting.
