Default Batch file initiation from Excel macro?

Hi,

Is there a way to start a DOS batch file (*.bat extension) from an Excel
macro? Is it also possible to have the macro wait until the *.bat file
finishes executing? (it can take a while to unzip files that Excel is
subsequently to process).
It would be really nice to zip/unzip (also move/copy, but that's doable etc
etc) files that way.

Where can I find more about Excel/OS integration?

Thanks,
Yarroll
