Oh boy I just brought a copy !! Best money I ever spent I use this daily (I brought Winzip a longtime ago but there is really no use for it ...) Do I get Free lifetime upgrades ? as with winzip or do I pay for each update ?? Free lifetime, I believe. I switched from WinZip to WinRAR because of segmented archives and how easy it makes 'em, among other interface niftyness, and extended format decompression support. I was very loyal to WinZip, but it just didn't keep pace, so even though I can still legally upgrade for free, I just don't bother. WinRAR is all I need, I think. I still make most of my single-segment archives in ZIP format for compatibility even, but it is very nice to have the ability to quickly and easily break the archive into multiple segments on the fly. Plus, this THEME thing is pretty spiffy, as is the ability to unzip 7z archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderRomeo Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hey. Thanx's for answering my question. I agree Winzip has nothing to offer (it did when it first came out but now it's useless). -Romeo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3thal Veteran Posted August 10, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 10, 2005 Just thinking I refused to use WinRAR for quite some time because I loved WinZip :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Kirklander Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Just thinking I refused to use WinRAR for quite some time because I loved WinZip Same here. But it just stagnated, sadly. WinRAR can decompress about everything and handles multi-segment archives so much easier. Plus, it's easy to encode each selected file into its own archive thanks to their interface. Sad, but true, WinZip just didn't seem to want to keep pace with the rest, so, I had to move on, as have many others it appears. How you likin' WinRAR after all is said and done?

Bearded Kirklander Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 http://www.7-zip.org Why bother? WinRAR can unzip that format too. Though it is a nice freeware effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanyBoss Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I use ZipGenius 6.0.2.1041 because is free and very good. But WinRar is the best :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But WinRar is the best :) Sometimes I forget how darn many formats there have been: http://www.zipgenius.it/intweb/features.htm ARJ was awesome - wonder why it died. LHA/LZH was too. I kind of like that WinRAR only compresses in 2 formats - ZIP or RAR. Keeps things simple, and with my simple-mind, that is a good thing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost everything I download is zipped using .rar, so I use it every day. Overall, I have no complaints :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Floyd Veteran Posted August 12, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 12, 2005 im wondering if they will ever do full support of 7zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Kirklander Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 im wondering if they will ever do full support of 7zip They seem pretty set on having ZIP and RAR the only compression standards they want to support. But at least you can Unzip 7z archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
