   I'm not following you.  The wildcard works fine within a directory,   
   and the addition of -r supposedly recurses into subdirectories.

   Tried it without success.

   It does, along with the -x option.  It also has the -@ option,   
   which reads from standard input, so I was able to get the desired   
   effect by using the DIR command and piping its output to zip with   
   the -@ option.   
      
   So, mission accomplished, but I still have an academic interest   
   in what -r does (only entire trees starting at a certain point   
   on downward?).
