 WinZip
WinZip is the original and most popular of all Windows ZIP file
utilities. Wizard/Classic interfaces accommodate both first-time
and experienced users. With WinZip you can quickly and easily
compress and decompress files, folders, and entire folder trees to
save storage space and reduce e-mail-transmission time, as well as
encrypt and decrypt your sensitive documents. Features include
tight integration with Windows Explorer, support for most Internet
file formats, and one-click zipping and e-mail.
The reigning top dog of the utility world gets some nice
behind-the-scenes improvements while maintaining the familiar
usability and interface that we've come to trust. WinZip is still
king at creating ZIP archives, and this new version expands its
kingdom on a number of fronts. New features include AES 128- and
256-bit encryption for tighter security, an improved compression
algorithm that gives you better compression ratios, and new
technologies that remove the size restrictions on ZIP archives.
Other handy features include a user-friendly zipping wizard, a
split archive function that converts even very large ZIP files
into manageable sizes for easier e-mailing, span-disk capability
for complete backups, integration with virus-protection software,
and the ability to drop whole programs into one self-extracting
archive.
Although this is the most compatible version to date, WinZip still
relies on ZIP alone to archive your files. We would have liked to
see support for RAR, ISO, and ACE archives. Overall, however,
WinZip is a fantastic program, and the new features improve on
what it does best. Whether you're an old pro or a new user, this
is a must-have upgrade.
