How do I create .zip or .txt files?

[Island Roots]

I just posted my first hack and since I don't know how to do a .zip or .txt file, I had to just post the code, which stretched the board majorly. So...how do I do it?

Well, right click on your desktop and choose for "new" and then "Text Document", then put your info in it and save it and then you have a .txt file

lol, that i can help someone with telling this

Right after I posted this, I just realized how dumb I was....I've known how to make a .txt file all along...but what about a .zip file?

[Lesane]

You need the program Winzip to make .zip files. You can download Winzip for free here: http://www.winzip.com

I already have WinZIP...hmmm....is there a tutorial in there that guides you through how to make a .zip package? I'll go look in a few minutes.
