both have that but not 7z in izarc it supports aes-256 in zip and jar.

With all the file formats izarc is the best unzipper but with compression you can't go wrong with good ole 7zip.

So for a all rounder not using compression Izarc wins hands
down for a freebie.

Compare them all

7Zip is open source. Check sourceforge. org. Been using it for 10 years, it even takes care of unzipping rars.

I will use 7-zip if they update it later but right now im happy with Izarc....

I know I will never hear the end of it but as I have said it is all about what you need it for and what it will do for you. If your happy with 7-zip enjoy and if your happy with izarc enjoy no need to make a fuss.

What exactly is a "right-click tab"? Are you talking about the shell extension context menu? 7-Zip's looks just like WinZip's, and it's configurable (you can hide menu items that you don't use). That context menu would be my main concern in switching to another app. I'd also like one that lets me copy (Ctrl+C) from the GUI and paste into Explorer, which seems pretty simple to implement and XP's built-in archiver already does it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20999765 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 15:44:37 EDT Re: [Free] Need Good FREE .zip program. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20999554 Portmonkey : Used WinRar for several years but recently switched to 7-zip.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20999554 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 14:42:24 EDT Re: [Free] Need Good FREE .zip program. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20999524 Jigsaw :

7-zip has good compression

You 7zip list is a little short.

My free working copy of 7zip indicates it can unpack the following:

7z, arj, bz2, bzip2, cab, cpio, deb, gz, gzip, iso, lha, lzh, rar, rpm, split, swm, tar, taz, tbz, tbz2, tgz, tpz, wim, z, zip and more...

I think these are opened source compression formats. I could be wrong.

Another vote for 7zip.

i like 7zip it unpacks pretty much all the major ziplike formats one would encounter in a windows envrioment.
a lot yes but why I like Izarc
7-zip has a crappy right click tab no good gui, good compression
Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR
Unpacking only: RAR, CAB, ISO, ARJ, LZH, CHM, MSI, WIM, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB and NSIS

Izarc has a nice cleaner right click looking tab better gui
7-ZIP, A, ACE, ARC, ARJ, B64, BH, BIN, BZ2, BZA, C2D, CAB, CDI, CPIO, DEB, ENC, GCA, GZ, GZA, HA, IMG, ISO, JAR, LHA, LIB, LZH, MDF, MBF, MIM, NRG, PAK, PDI, PK3, RAR, RPM, TAR, TAZ, TBZ, TGZ, TZ, UUE, WAR, XXE, YZ1, Z, ZIP, ZOO.

It always depends on what you need it for but 7-zip in my opinion needs some serious work.

Windows XP has a zip file program. Right-click in any folder or on the desktop, choose to make an "Compressed (zip) Folder" and name it AnythingYouWant.zip. Drag files onto the folder icon to add, or open the folder by double-clicking and then drag files to or from the folder.
