    the filesize is correct, but ambient wont show the content.
    and right now it is zipping the directory too, but i just would like to have the files stored in work:te/ in the zip file. i tryed -D but it didnt work.

    This might be stating the obvious but what about using DirOpus?
    It has built in commands for this that can be assigned to a button.
    There is a default archive button provided.

    DOpus comes with a *built-in* ZIP archiver?

    Well, if you go in and make your own button then yes.
    Select AMIGADOS, then the zip command, then the parameters to pass to it and save it as a button.
    I have made a lot of custom buttons for myself over time.

    How can this ZIP command be built-in when you have to select a ZIP command that is external to DOpus? Such ZIP command that works on MorphOS is what the thread opener is in search for, so I don't think your hint can help him with his problem.
