Purchase Information: Shareware: Free to try, $39 if you decide to keep it.
Straight from the originators of the leading file compression format for PCs comes PKZIP for Windows. This 32-bit utility makes use of a user-friendly graphical interface to let you easily work with files in the .zip format. Use it to create new .zip files, as well as add files to or delete files from existing .zip archives. Extract files from a .zip file, and test those files' integrity. You can also use PKZIP for Windows to move and copy files from one .zip file to another; view files within .zip archives; take advantage of full Windows Explorer integration; create self-extracting .zip files; and work with minor compression formats like UUEncode, .tar, and .gzip. While PKZIP for Windows isn't quite as slick (or as inexpensive) as the leading Windows archiver WinZip, those that feel more comfortable with the "real thing" instead of "PKZIP compatible" should definitely check it out. A 16-bit version is also available. Note: This sponsored shareware version will occasionally make use of your Internet connection. Registration removes the ads.
