SCORM Compatability

Question

We have a file created by someone else, in an older version
of AW. (We are looking at it in AW 7.) Originally, the course was
distributed on CD-ROM and could also be loaded onto a LAN. We want
to publish it for use on an LMS, and it needs to be SCORM
compatible. When I try and publish using the HTML LMS KO template,
I get the files in a Published Files\Web folder, not a zip file.
The original piece has a KO (Find CD Drive Knowledge Object), but
not the "the Learning Management System Knowledge Objects (LMS KO)
from AEC Consulting" mentioned in the Publishing dialog box.
Our knowledge of AW is not very strong.
So, the question is: should a piece published for SCORM be
packaged in a .zip file? And do we need to figure out how to
include an LMS KO to accomplish this?
Thanks.

Yes.
Look at commands>LMS
The first two options are what you care about initially. Open
the *second*
one, Authorware Learning Object Metadata Editor. There's a
Help link in the
window that opens.
Once you've worked your way through that, open the first link
Authorware
Learning Object Content Packager. Point it to the folder
where you created
the xml metadata file. This will now help you create the zip
file you asked
about. Again, there is a Help link.
