gzip equivalent in dos

Question

Hi,

I need to use DOS to zip files. I have file with similar but not exactly same filenames. for example one file is call temp.txt and the other is called temp123.txt I need to create a separate zip version for each of the files i.e. I need a temp.zip and temp123.zip.

using the zip command with temp.txt creates only 1 zipped folder which is also not what is intended.

Infact I need to do exactly what gzip does in unix. I am working on a remote server with minmal access which is why I can't install any utility that would make gzip or a similar freeware work on DOS.

is there any other way to do this?
