The optional wizard interface makes zipping and unzipping easier than ever. WinZip features built-in support for CAB files and for popular Internet file formats such as TAR, gzip, UUencode, BinHex, and MIME. ARJ, LZH, and ARC files are also supported via external programs. WinZip interfaces to most virus scanners.

I have only ever encountered one corrupt archive and that was because I had downloaded it and my internet is bugged. You have a choice between the standard and wizard interface, both are simple and easy to use. It is easy to create and add new files to zip archives. Unarchiving is simple and easy. You can just use the menu in windows explorer by right clicking the file and clicking unzip and selecting where to. I would rec...more

Premium Review WinZip: Zip up your flies...sorry files (735 words)
by - written on 04/04/07 (Very useful, 182 readings)

Hello Dooyoo folk, Winzip is an application that zips up multiple files and makes emailing and filing so much simpler. 'Win' stands for Windows enabled and 'Zip' because it collects your selected files and stores them as one. It is by far the most time saving program available for Windows. ---My Winzip experience---- It all started about 4 years ago for me. I was constantly creating many files mostly MP3, AVI, and loads of codecs types. I was testing video files that were compressed to a maximum, that did not loose any of the original quality. By doing this I found that many files were created on my PC and it was getting harder by the ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Zip It! (909 words)

Winzip is a popular file compression tool, which is ideal for grouping lots of files into one file for later use and for unzipping files from the Internet. You can also use Winzip to create self-extracting files so that someone who hasn't installed a copy of Winzip can still open a compressed file. If they haven't got it? they should! My Experience ****************** I first came across Winzip when I started to use the Internet; I would want to download game, backgrounds and screensavers and noticed that they all had an extension of .zip. I read one of the help files on a web site and saw that to open these files you would need something called ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review WinZip: Allegiance to the standard (1121 words)
by - written on 26/03/01 (Very useful, 52 readings)
Rating:

The computing industry revolves around standards. Without them, the whole business collapses around us – standards help us to define what everyone should adhere to – how we should communicate and work, in order to encourage maximum compatibility with all others. If it weren't for these principles, the Net wouldn't work anywhere near as well as it does – there would be many different forms of the code that makes up the web, and everyone would be prepared to read different types. The Zip compression format has become something of a standard – most PC based systems are using it right now – and it's important for us to be ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Zip 'em and save time and space in one easy step! (587 words)
by - written on 13/03/01 (Very useful, 66 readings)
Rating:

Winzip 8.0 is the latest version in the long line of Winzip products. These products provide you many people with an easy to use file compression tool. To be honest if you have used previous versions of this software you will not notice very many changes (apart from the version number). Usually the main change that you notice is that the interface has been updated nicely with new graphics, which makes a change. This software is shareware and can be used by any one. But if you want to get rid of the annoying messages saying so you can registers, this costs $29, however I have never known anyone to do this (this also allows you to produce self extracting file legally). ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review WinZip: Best bit of sshareware ever (137 words)
by - written on 16/08/00 (Very useful, 11 readings)
Rating:

WOW! God i like that word! Any way, if there is one piece of software that you have to have on your pc then winzip is the only one! It enables you to compress files up to 80% smaller! This makes it an ideal utiltiy if you want to fit more on to a floppy! Make smaller email, and so on! This will also save you some friends on the net! So instead of downloading a 30mb file they may be able to download a 18mb file! This is how good the software can get! BE warnned, not all files can be compressed the same amount as others as they are compressed by there development software when they are saved! There! My sharware ...  Read the complete review
