# Hello, this script is written in Python - http://www.python.org
#
# autozip.py 1.0p
#
# This script will scan a directory (and its subdirectories)
# and automatically zip files (according to their extensions).
#
# This script does not use Python internal ZIP routines.
# InfoZip's ZIP.EXE must be present in the path (InfoZip Dos version 2.3).
# (zip23x.zip at http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/)
#
# Each file will be zipped under the same name (with the .zip extension)
# eg. toto.bak will be zipped to toto.zip
#
# This script is public domain. Feel free to reuse it.

# More quick & dirty scripts are available at http://sebsauvage.net/python/
#
# Directory to scan is hardcoded at the end of the script.
# Extensions to ZIP are hardcoded below:
ext_list = ['.bak','.trn']
