In the Internet you will be confronted very often with ZIP files, the most used compression type. FilZip is THE way to handle these archived files. It's both powerful and very fast. High compression rates are standard.
FilZip brings the convenience of Windows to the use of Zip files.

FilZip is extremely easy to use! To open an archive simply double click (or, you're working in Web style, click once) on an archive listed in My Computer or the Windows Explorer, drag and drop an archive onto FilZip, or use the standard Open dialog box. The main FilZip window features a list with the names, and sizes of all files in the open archive. This list can be scrolled and sorted on any field. A configurable tool bar provides fast access to commonly used actions.

Double clicking on a file in the main FilZip window has the same effect as double clicking in My Computer or the Windows Explorer. First the file is extracted from the archive. Then, if the file is executable, it is run. Otherwise, the file is opened by the appropriate application (for example, Notepad for *.TXT files) based on standard Windows associations, or any other program you want to use instead.

The Windows Drag and Drop interface is fully supported. You can drag and drop files from FilZip to other applications, or just into Windows Explorer to extract them into a specific directory. FilZip will extract the files before dropping them on the target application. The target application will treat the files as if they had been dropped from My Computer or the Windows Explorer. You can also drop archives on FilZip to open them, or drop files on FilZip to add them to an opened or new archive.
