| 252353 | 2004-07-15 11:45:00 | >>>Winrar does look interesting. Here is a user comment off of CNET - downloads: "WinRar thrashes Winzip hands down !!" i've been using WinRar since version 2.6 & it keeps on improving. imo, WinRar is more versatile, stable & efficient than Winzip. WinRar supports/converts a wide array of archiving/compression formats (zip, ace, jar), thus u don't need that good-for-nothing Winzip at all.... or needlessly install several specific programs for every single different format. WinRar's performance is second to none. overall: pretty impressive!" >But 7-Zip is FREE :) and looks equally as good: From http://www.7-zip.org/ The main features of 7-Zip: Highest compression ratio in new 7z format 7-Zip is free software distributed under the GNU LGPL Supported formats: 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB For ZIP and GZIP formats 7-Zip provides compression ratio that is 2-10% better than ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip |

I have never realy > liked WinZip. Powerdesk 5 will be a better file manager than what I get with WinXP Pro. Powerdesk will allow you to de crompress most archives. Very good file manager. I have never tried to compress files using PowerDesk 5 but a very good program all the same. For compression I use WinRAR. This works for me. |
