Editor's Review of 7-Zip
Are you e-mailing PowerPoint slides and digital photos? You should know that it's rude to send big, uncompressed files that can take forever to transfer. 7-Zip is a free utility for creating ZIP compressed archives.
7-Zip supports the following formats for packing and unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2, and TAR. For unpacking only, it supports RAR, CAB, ARJ, LZH, CHM, Z, CPIO, RPM, and DEB, the vendor says. It also features a self-extracting capability for files in the 7z format and an integrated file manager.
We found 7-Zip not quite as easy to use as the popular WinZip, but, hey--it's free!
