Review by Robert Moore

To be honest, I was not tempted to get WinZip since the last time I used it about ten years ago. At my day job I’ve used a really old version for years. Corporate America is always very hesitant to upgrade their software to more recent versions. So I was unaware of the amazing number of features in the latest versions. I had been using ZipGenius, which is a very nice piece of software, but it is nothing like this version of WinZip.

I love features like being able to open up and look at the zipped files before unzipping them. Being able to open files from within the zipped file is wonderfully convenient. And being able to change the degree of compression is also nice.

I don’t have a huge need for file compression, but it is nice to have a great program for the occasions I do need to unpack a file.
