Utility
cgKML2KMZ [, kml_filename] [, supportFiles] [, /SILENT] [, /SHOWCMD]
This program simply collects files created from the cgImage2KML program and moves the files to a zip file with a *.kmz file extention. The program requires that the file archiver 7-Zip be installed on the user's computer. The 7-Zip program is freeware and is available for Windows, Mac, and UNIX users. Addtional information about the 7-Zip program can be found on the 7-Zip web page. The current program runs on Windows computers only, and with 7-Zip installed in the C:\Program Files directory. You may have to modify the path the the 7z.exe executable file to get the program to work correctly for you. The line to modify is clearly marked below.
KMZ files are simply zip files containing KML files and support files. You can create your own KMZ files with any archiving software that supports the ZIP compression format.
