WinZip is a utility that sits on your PC as a separate program Ð it doesnÕt integrate with your browser or work with your Net connection in any way. You can zip up one file or several files into one, more compact zip file or archive. Conversely, you unzip zip files that youÕve been sent or have downloaded from the Net to turn them back
into useable documents and programs.
The WinZip wizard enables you to unzip a zip file easily, but youÕll have to use the Classic interface if you want to zip up files. WinZip talks in terms of ÔarchivesÕ. An archive is simply a zip file (which might contain multiple files).
