- Zip utility
- Posted by buglady on November 17th, 2004
Howdy,
I need to get a zip utility so I can download my files and upgrade to Win98.
Can anyone recommend a trustworthy site for Winzip 7.0 or another zip
utility? I couldn't find an old version of Winzip at their site and can't
use the new one (good for Win98 or higher).
thanks

.........thanks, but I didn't find any old versions at their website and
Winzip 9.0 is for Win98 and higher.

Winzip 9 runs fine on Windows 95b, for those who are wondering.

It means that the software is not tested or supported in Windows 95, but not
necessarily that it won't install and work.

However, a better option for compression/decompression utility is
winrar. It's available at:

Because it compresses archives better, has a smaller footprint than
Winzip 9, provides complete support for RAR and ZIP archives and is also
able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, Z and
7-Zip archives.
A link providing complete, detailed comparison between them is provided
at the URL listed above.

means it makes smaller files?, but I don't have the faintest idea what all
those files extensions mean except for cab, uue and zip and why it would be
more useful to me.
Thanks
