True, I conflated/confused archiving/compressing, somehow inevitable with *.zip but not with *.tgz and so on
yet many if not most users naturally consider the combination as a single concept.
Peace

P.S. Even if dired-do-archive existed to serve this major use case,
the difference between foo.zip and foo.gz is utterly obscure
and to create foo.zip.gz is insanely perverse.
P.P.S. (dired "/sudo::”) works, can (dired “/zip::”) be far?
Then dired-do-copy would work. Might be easier for
shift-C to work in Zip-Archive mode as in dired.
