- Suggested Description
-
- PowerArchiver is a powerful and easy to use utility for
- working with Zip files and many other compression and
- internet file formats.
-
- Some of PowerArchiver features include:
-
- Complete built-in support for ZIP, CAB, LHA, TAR, TAR.GZ,
- TAR.BZ2 and BH (BlakHole) archives and built-in support for
- reading and extracting RAR, ARJ, ACE, ARC, ZOO, GZ and BZIP2
- archives.
-
- Also complete built-in support for "Internet file" formats:
- XXEncode and UUEncode.
-
- Windows 95, 98, and NT support, including tight integration
- with the Windows shell. Drag and drop to or from the Explorer,
- or zip and unzip without leaving the Explorer (using powerful
- Explorer shell extensions).
-
- Two modes of working with archives:
- * CLASSIC -> all files in the same listing
- * EXPLOER -> navigation through archive like through folders
- in Windows Explorer
-
- Behind standard archive operation (add, extract, view,
- delete), there are lot of other powerful archive operations
- like renaming files in the archive, testing archives, reading
- and writing comments, converting archives to powerful "SFX
- Archives", converting "SFX Archives" to original ZIP format,
- "CheckOut" feature, ...
-
- Converting between many archive formats (for example. ZIP ->
- CAB, CAB -> BH, ...), splitting standard ZIP archives, ...
-
- Tool for extracting of multiple archives...
-
- Internal viewer that now supports viewing RTF, BMP, ICO, WMF,
- EMF, JPG (JPEG) and GIF files.
-
- Automatic installation of most software distributed in Zip
- files: If a Zip file contains a "setup" or "install" program,
- PowerArchiver's "Install" feature will unzip the files,
- run the installation program, and after installation
- PowerArchiver will clean up temporary files.
-
- The "Favorite Zip Folders" feature lets you organize Zip files
- into one convenient list that is sorted by date, making it
- easier to locate all Zip files, regardless of where they
- came from or where they are stored.
-
- Virus Scanner Support: PowerArchiver can be configured to work
- with most virus scanners.
-
- PowerArchiver Self-Extractor: Simplify file distribution by
- creating files that unzip themselves with many, many custom
- options.
-
- Detailed help in "Microsoft HTML Help" format with easy
- tutorial for beginners.
-
- And many, many other configurable options...
