Does Mac have ZIP available?

I'm a very new user to the Mac (less than a month). Is there a "zip" compression program in the Mac? I don't see it in applications, probably looking in the wrong place - and how is it used, what is the syntax if any?

There is a program called Stuffit Expander which is available free as a decompression tool or for a fee if you need to compress as well.

Alternatively if you are happy using a terminal command line the unix tar command is on your system. Type 'man tar' followed by return in a terminal window for explanation of how to use it.
 
The system does zip automatically, right click any file or folder and select "Creat Archive of NameOfYourFile".

Enjoy!
