The growth of the Internet and the increased use of World Wide Web browsers are creating a greater need to compress data files. Saving disk space and saving time on-line are big benefits of compressing data files with PKZIPÆ for Windows. PKZIP compresses files an average of 50-70% with many large text and database files compressing well over 90%. PKZIP's simple point-and-click interface lets you easily zip up one file or an entire hard drive, and store them in a .ZIP file.

PKZIP 2.60 for Windows is compatible with Windows 95, Windows NT and Windows 3.1x. PKZIP for Windows includes both 16-bit and 32-bit versions.
