Thanks for the imput. I'm not sure if these programs take zip files/folder and converts them to an executible file.

Perhaps we should spell out what you mean by 'executable file '...
These zip programs will compact your files into your choice of .zip format, or as a self-executing .exe file. The advantage of the .exe being that your user does not have to have the same zip application to unzip them.
Otherwise, your compiler creates .exe files, that act more like an independent, stand-alone program.
What kind of .exe were you looking for?

That's exactly what I'm looking for. So someone can click on an icon and the .exe opens up only it's encrypted.
I didn't see any topic in winzip 9.0 to explain how to do..
Thanks

I'm looking at WinZip 7.0, and it's under 'Actions', 'Make .exe file', or <SHIFT> K.
I'm sure you meant 'compacted', not 'encrypted', right?

Well, maybe. I was understanding that by making an exe file it "encyptped" the file so no one can copy and paste or copy the file (let say an ebook) to make pirate copies.
I hope this makes sense.

Activ will take your html pages and compile them into a single .exe file. You can turn the copying and printing functions off to discourage users from stealing your content.
Some ebooks decompress their pages into an obscure temporary directory upon opening. The ebook then usually deletes this temp directory when closing. As an added safeguard, Activ creates those files in an encrypted format.
So, you compile your ebook from web pages into an .exe file to build an ebook, and if desired, compress it to a .zip or .exe file to save space and download times. Actually, Sunil's compilation is pretty thrifty, so you may not need the compression of the zip file.
