Robert,
You already have your answer so I won't bother to repeat it.
http://www.winzip.com is a popular Windows zip utility.
http://www.pkzip.com has the current version of the first dos zip utility.
http://www.aladdinsys.com has Stuffit, which works on both Windows and Mac,
if you have Mac people you deal with.
All of them will zip your database rather nicely.
