Unzippers

[Hagar]

Most of my tutes are based on using WinZip to extract files. I've just noticed that the latest evaluation version now has a time limit. The previous versions never did so this causes a problem for new users. Not only that but some alternative unzip utilities don't extract files in quite the same way. I know WinXP has an onboard unzipper utility that I have no knowledge of so this could be the same.

Can anyone recommend a similar free utility I can use in future. If it's not quite the same as WinZip this might involve me revising all my tutes & also reconfiguring my own files. I would obviously rather not do so.

I was slightly concerned when i saw that, but i stuck with Winzip 8.1, i also have WinRAR for files types winzip can not do.  I only use xp to open them, but now winzip does that.

I've been using WinRaR for serveral years now,and it never let me down.
Number one on my list for zipping/unzipping tools.

Thanks guys. I recently gave WinRar a try but preferred WinZip. Couldn't see any advantage so I uninstalled it. I'll try it again. Can it open CAB files?

Yes Doug, it can do:

PS. I only have it set up to associate itself with RAR and ACE, but you can still open other types (eg. CAB) when they are not associated with Winrar.
