7-zip FTW!!
This product is anachronistic. There are better alternatives, and they are free. Just to mention 2: 7zip and universal extractor.
Windows 95 called, they want their archiver back.
Nobody uses Winzip anymore.
Besides if you buy Corel product, that comes with Winzip often.
What is Corel Winzip? I even don't remember it used to exist. My current 7zip does the job well and it's completely free.
Wow this is great! It's a wonder they don't include .zip file handling within the OS these days. Oh wait. NVM.
as other people have mentioned.. Operating Systems have including zip handling (creating and opening) since about 2000. The average user has no need for anything else.
Why do we have to pay for this again?
If you compress files a lot you are going to want something better than is built into Windows. Maybe this, maybe something else, but whatever you choose it's worth $15.
For my own use I prefer WinRAR but then you can't send these files to people since most won't have WinRAR and if you send a self-extracting file people get nervous about whether it's a virus or something. Some ISPs even strip EXE file attachments off of emails.
Then again, WinRAR can ZIP as well as RAR. I'm not suggesting it's the best there is today, I really don't know but at one time it was the best and I've not had a need to change to or learn to use another for years.
Winzip was great until Corel dirtied it up.
I agree with # 9.
WINRAR is a superior product. But I would mention that you can change the .rar or .zip to something else and send through the normal means and have the recipient change the suffix back to the original, and no worse for wear. Unless it's uuencoded or some such, or the file is FTP'd without binary mode switched on, switching the suffix works fine.
As an aside, I think providers that filter exe or other binary type files may help the novice, but the rest of us find it irksome.
^ The ISPs that stripped EXEs weren't stripping .ZIP or .RAR, and while I could rename the .EXE file extension and have someone rename it back to EXE again, as a courtesy I just ZIP instead of RARing them since as others have already mentioned, any modern OS can handle ZIP.
However one limitation (at least with the version of WinRAR I'm using) is it doesn't allow splitting ZIPs into multiple parts like 7ZIP so it's inconvenient to email something larger than my or my recipient's ISP will let through as an attachment.
On the other hand, some OS that can open ZIPs don't have a (easy) method of making ZIPs, let alone multi-file ZIP to keep each segment smaller than a certain size. I often find it just as easy to upload the file to a webserver and link to it in an email, but that only works for one-way exchanges 'cuz I'm not handing out webserver passwords people would need for the u/l.
I like WinRar. But, if you want a high compression use KGB archiever, I saw a 440 MB file compressed to a 1.4MB.
