batch file to check modified date

How can I use a batch file on XP Pro to check if ANY file in a directory (including any subdirectories) has been modified in the last 24 hours? If so, I want to run a zip command on the top-level directory.

Doing math on the date sounds like a can of worms.
Might it do just as well to use pkzip to "freshen" an archive?

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

I am a programmer and I want the system to compress each folder in a certain directory into it's own archive. If checking the date modified is too complicated, how would I just loop through the directory and get the names of each subfolder? (so that I can then compress that subfolder)

If I understand the question,
dir /s/b/ad
