QBZip is a program by Mike Bentley that reduces the time it takes to generate password protected zip files of individual packets for use in a paperless tournament.

I've heard there's some interest for such a program, so I decided to make one. You can download it here: http://www.doc-ent.com/quizbowl/qbzip.zip.

Essentially, this simple Windows program (I've included the VB6 source if anyone wants to port it or something) will allow you to browse for your packets, select them all, and then will create individual, password-protected zip files for them and a text output of what those passwords are. Thus, the process of zipping up your packets is reduced from several minutes to about 30 seconds.
