Re: (OT) Zip Programs
WinRAR handles all archive formats and does them better than (or equal to) most programs. It is most certainly better at compressing files than WinZip is.

Re: (OT) Zip Programs
My favorite is PowerArchiver, used to be free, I think it's freeware now.
it mergers better with the windows shell than the others , my opinion. Especially handy when unzipping many files at once bu right clicking on them.
Also handles most formats.
WinRAR is good to but I haven't used that one for almost a year now.

Re: (OT) Zip Programs
I started it in the Image collection thread when I mentioned 7-Zip http://www.7-zip.org
It has the best compression of any zip program I have seen and its free.

Re: (OT) Zip Programs
Try UltimateZip - supports a zillion file formats and a handy Windows Explorer integrated menu! Only problem is when you try to open a zip file, you have to wait for a little popup screen, but with the explorer integration you hardly ever have to do that anyway...
