Speaking Of Compressed Files..

[Lee]

Does anyone know if it is possible to further compress an existing .zip file so it is smaller than what it is presently without damaging any of the files contents?

I believe when the file is initially zipped, there are some compression options, that can make the files a little bigger or smaller, but for the most part, the compression algorithm that the zip standard uses is probably about the best out there and I don't think you can compress it much more.

If you're working with something like still images where a lossy compression format wouldn't be problematic, you could compress the images harder (i.e., lower quality) prior to zipping, but that's about the only way I can think of you could decrease the overall file size.
