How do you change a notepad file to a regular zip file?
To add a notepad (.txt) file to a .zip archive format, you need
a certain program. I recommend using WinRAR 3.71
(rarlab.com/download.htm). Once installed, create the notepad file,
and then right click on it and select "Add to Archive." You should
then be able to create a .zip format archive with a notepad file
inside.
