WinZip 9.0

Wednesday, June 11, 2003

A new version of WinZip is out. Now I know, the first thing you're gonna say is "Windows XP has compressed files support". Ever tried deleting files out of an archive? How about deleting non-empty folders? Had a field day with that the other night. Nope I think I'll stick to WinZip.

I use WinRAR personally. Check it out.

I use both, but I like WinZip's UI better. Cleaner, more professional. WinRAR still clings to that Windows 95-esque UI.

If you like it and use it why not pay for it? I have. Your last line "It's not like it stops working after 30 days anyways... it just has that nag screen. " isn't exactly helpful to shareware authors is it?

Good point. <edited>

Maybe I'll give Winzip 9 another shot, but I especially like WinRAR's shell integration.

Be sure to check out the Outlook addin at WinZip also. Adds buttons to your new mails enabling you to automatically zip up attachements prior to the mail going out. Great time saver.
