Cygwin is currently installed on over a hundred windows 2003 servers, and is
used to do some admin tasks as well as to pull files from the servers on a
daily basis via ssh. One of the files pulled from each server is a windows
ZIP file.
I want to add an extra file to this ZIP file using a script. I looked at
both DOS batch scripts and cygwin shell scripts but have run into problems
because the cygwin installed on these boxes doesnt contain ZIP.exe, and the
PKZIP.exe I would used with a batch script is so old it only accepts 8.3
filenames.
Updating the servers with new cygwin or command line packages is not an
option at this point.

Any suggestions?
Use java, specifically `jar` which is just a fancy unzip-then-call-java thingy,
and it also does just work as zip (with tar like use).
Just do:
jar -h
jar -tvf your.zip
jar -cvf another.zip files...
Remember to use only DOS/Windows paths.
