+# Simple File Zipper
+
+This is a command-line utility that gathers all `.txt` files in its directory and compresses them into a new `.zip` archive.
+
+## Description
+
+This script demonstrates the power of Python's built-in `zipfile` module. It's a practical tool for basic file backup and compression.
+
+When run, the script will:
+1.  Create two dummy `.txt` files (`file1_to_zip.txt`, `file2_to_zip.txt`) for demonstration.
+2.  Ask the user for a name for the output zip file.
+3.  Use the `glob` module to find all files ending in `.txt`.
+4.  Create a new `.zip` archive and add all found text files to it.
+
+## Features
+
+* **File Compression:** Creates a standard `.zip` archive.
+* **Pattern Matching:** Uses `glob` to find all `.txt` files.
+* **Practical Utility:** A useful script for simple backups.
+* **Error Handling:** Includes `try...except` blocks for file I/O operations.
+
+## How to Run
+
+1.  Ensure you have Python 3 installed.
+2.  Run the script from your terminal:
+    ```sh
+    python simple_zipper.py
+    ```
+3.  Follow the prompt to name your zip file.
+4.  A new `.zip` archive will appear in the directory.
+
+## Modules Used
+
+* **`zipfile`**: (Python's built-in module for reading/writing zip archives)
+* **`os`**: (Built-in module for creating test files)
+* **`glob`**: (Built-in module for finding files that match a pattern)
