The code writes image chips to files, points the KML to those files, creates info-balloons with all sorts of diagnostic information for each chip. This all works well. However, when I distribute the results, the KML and all the supporting images need to go with it. This is cumbersome, but solvable! I just need to ZIP it up into a KMZ file.

I can't assume I can install 7zip or WinZip and call those independently. Is there a way IDL can do this natively, or am I at the mercy of Windows standard calls?

I haven't solved this problem, either, with my own KML files. It would
be wonderful to have the IDL zip API exposed so it can be done from
within IDL. Please let us know if you come up with something.

Cheers,

David
