Prefixing or suffixing category methods help avert name collisions if Apple ever adds a method in Cocoa under the same name.

Check out http://code.google.com/p/ziparchive/. It's a class for zipping files. Google is your friend!

Using this method would allow to not change the code to support new features. I wonder what exactly does Finder when you select a file/directory, and then select "Compress" from the menu. Which executable does Finder uses?
