Smokezip.exe compression error for path with spaces

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This issue is carried over from FDS5_RC2. When using Smokeview and 
selecting Load > Compression > Compress on a case, the command will not 
work if the path to the FDS files has a space in it, (i.e. C:\Documents 
and Settings\KOverholt\Desktop\FDS Models\Aspiration 
Detector\aspiration_detector.smv).

Smokezip will work on the same path if it is invoked from the DOS command 
line, but the error shown below occurs when using the Smokeview interface 
to invoke smokezip.

This error occured using FDS5_RC3 which comes with the April 12, 2007 
build of Smokeview 5.0.0 Beta.

This is the output from the smokeview console:

Compressing...
Executing shell command: C:\Program Files\NIST\Smokeview\smokezip.exe  -s
C:\Documents and Settings\KOverholt\Desktop\FDS Models\Aspiration Detector
aspiration_detector.smv
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.
Compression completed

This is a common problem that we face. Spaces are a no-no for most non-Windows 
programs. I'll pass this to Glenn Forney, but there may be no good solution.
