SHELL "zip ..." WAIT

SHELL "unzip ..." WAIT

That run the shell commands as if you typed them in a terminal.

There is a compression component that allows you to do the same thing 
without running external process, but it is a more complex to explain.

I use Replace$(). No need for regexp. If your search pattern are like 
"$(field name)", you won't mix up with any OpenOffice XML syntax.

Don't forget to look at XML format for correctly quoting characters that 
must be quoted.
