michaelper22 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2005 7-Zip is a wonderful little program for windows that can compress and decompress files in .tar, tar.gz, .zip, Bzip2, and 7z formats. The interface is a little clumsy: Instead of opening a compressd file, you browse your hard drive and compressed files as if the program were a file manager. Cost: free. You can download 7-Zip from sourceforge.net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

malish 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2005 It really takes a lot more time to compress and decompress but... As you noticed it compresses sometimes up to 25 percent better than even win rara and winace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
