Statica has it, though....zip is an inefficient method of compression. it also compresses files on the file by file level...so, it can be less efficient because a file by file compression on compressed files wouldn't have much redundancy, but if you were to compress all the files together, you might get a good bit of compressable data. this is one of the reasons why gzip or bzip2 compressed tarballs tend to be smaller than zip compressed archives.
