Q: 

use winrar command line to create zip archives

I'm using the following winrar command line to create zip archives rar.exe a -df -ep -ag[yyyyMMddhhmmss] -ms[txt] C:\MyZipFile.zip C:\tmp\MyFiles*.txt The archives created are in RAR format instead of ZIP. Is there a way to create regular ZIP and not RAR archives?

A: 

You should use option -afzip is to create archive files in ZIP format.

It didn't work. Actually there is no -af parameter available and is giving me: ERROR: Unknown option: afzip
