Croatia | My favourite freebie is TUGZip (»www.tugzip.com/). However, it's no longer being updated. Instead, I'd go with Izarc if you like WinZIP look and feel, or 7-Zip which would be my second choice. | |

| 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 | Re: [Free] Need Good FREE .zip program. 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. | |

Thanks 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.

| For a very simple ZIP program try "JustZIPit"
»free-backup.info/justzipit.html
Only works with ZIP files just like Win98SE's ZIP utility.

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
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison···rchivers
7Zip is open source. Check sourceforge. org. Been using it for 10 years, it even takes care of unzipping rars.
so does izarc now
since they updated im impressed. | |
