Zip
To "Zip" something means that you are compressing it, making it smaller so that it takes up less hard drive space. If you zip a file it will take less time to send over the Internet. Software programmes that zip files include Stuffit, Winzip for PC, Zipit for Macintosh and gzip for Unix machines. Don't confuse zipping a file with storing it on an Iomega Zip disk, which is an external backup storage device like a floppy disk, only bigger.
