Re: [Free] Need Good FREE .zip program. said by Kearnstd: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.

1 edit | FunnyBones,
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.

said by FunnyBones:7-zip has a crappy right click tab no good gui, good compression Izarc has a nice cleaner right click looking tab better gui 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. | |

Plus the gui looks like something a 5 year old would make. lol
compare
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.

| I would strongly recommend 7Zip. Ive tried WinZip and WinRAR in the past, and 7Zip is WAY better than both. | |
