Holy Cr#p!  They want $29 for that!  What a hose job.

If you have WinXP, winzip is built in.  If not, Google for winzip alternatives.  There are thousands of free ones.

The free evaluation WinZip had an unlimited trial period until quite recently. It worked fine if you ignored the reminders to register it. Unfortunately this is no longer the case. I can't say I blame them & all good things come to an end. As Webb says, there are plenty of alternatives. I've tried several but still prefer WinZip.

Heres where to get the FREE older version of winzip for those like me who prefer it.

oldversion.com

Loads of other old versions of stuff on there too.

the older version was much better, pick it up from a misc site then you should still get the unlimited trial like hagar pointed out, just ignore the reminders.

Try Enzip.

It's served me well all the time, wouldn't change it for anything.
