  -e[x|n|f|s]   Specify compression method

  -ex   Maximum compression (most compression, most time)
  -en   Normal compression (default)
  -ef   Fast compression
  -es   Super Fast compression (least compression, least time)
  -e0   Zero compression (storing)

  PKZIP 2 provides four different methods of compression, allowing you to
  choose the compression that best suits your need.  You can choose speed,
  high compression or a balance.  The default method will provide good
  compression at a reasonable speed.

  The switches for this option are intended to be mnemonic in nature:

  -ex   eXtra or maXimum
  -en   Normal
  -ef   Fast
  -es   Speed/Super Fast
  -e0   Zero compression

  The only two that may be difficult to remember are the order of Fast and
  Super Fast, you might want to think "Extra Speed".

  If you need to complete the compression in the minimum amount of time
  possible, then choose the fast compression method.  To force PKZIP to use
  its fastest compression method, use the option -es (Super Fast).

  To achieve the smallest files possible, specify the maximum compression
  method using the option -ex (Maximum).

     pkzip -ex test.zip d:\wp51\*.wp

  Using no compression with the zero option is useful when archiving files
  which will either not compress or compress very little.  This would
  generally be true when archiving .ZIP files.  By specifying no compression
  PKZIP will store the files directly rather than first attempting to
  compress them.

  The compression method to use by default can be specified in the
  configuration file.  If you have specified the super fast, fast or maximum
  compression method in your configuration you may override this and use the
  normal method by using the option -en.
