ZdNetItalia : WinZip for Windows 3.1

Manage archiving activities
WinZip has become the file compression tool of choice for many Windows users, and it's easy to see why. Using your choice of a 'Wizard' or 'Classic' interface (both of which are easy to use), WinZip can create industry-standard .zip files, plus can open .zip, .tar, and GZIP archives without any additional utilities. It also interfaces with external programs to handle .arc, .arj, and .lzh files. WinZip features integration with File Manager, several ways to create archives, plus optional support for many virus scanners. A helpful Check Out feature temporarily opens an archive so that the program within can be installed. You can keep a list of favorite folders, plus easily view files through an internal ASCII text viewer or the file's associated application. The bonus WinZip Self-Extractor Personal Edition lets you make executable files from .zip archives for distribution to friends or clients. All files that have been downloaded are automatically copied from the Internet browser's cache directory to a folder of your choice, which ensures that a permanent copy of the download is saved on your system, even if the downloaded file is automatically deleted by the browser. You'll find complete details on the improvements in Whatsnew.txt. Whether you're an existing WinZip user, or you've been looking for an easy way to handle archives in Windows, this is a 'must download.' A 32-bit version is also available.
