gunner Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Might want to look at Zgenius again-It's only 1.65mb. The rest that you refer to is a password manager and file transfer. If it isn't broke, tweak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest that you refer to is a password manager and file transfer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep , but I already made the commitment(sp) to WINRAR. Besides the interface is a little more straight-forward. Being the tightwad I am I would give Z Genius another go-round but I think WINRAR would be better in the long-run. Thanx for the input though....

agumon Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Any takes on 7-ZIP as a Zip Compression Utility? I am currently using "JUSTZIPIT" (Any takes on this one..) but the compression is limited to ZIP and doesn't compress to my liking .Advantages of 7-ZIP are ,it's free and the compression choices are many and seems to compress better. i just download and try 7zip... very nice program... faster and light... --==aGumon==-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkeeterBeeter Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 i just download and try 7zip... very nice program... faster and light... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just for the H*** of it I will purchase Winrar and have 7-Zip also , since it is free . In case 7-Zip comes up with something Spectacular in their beta version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkeeterBeeter Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 I use winrar. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was going with 7-Zip but most of the guys here seem to value Winrar, (value their opinions) which I gave Winrar a second look and agreed that the cost for a single license weighs out in the long run , So I chose Winrar. The resources are low and it supports decompressing 7z anyway and the interface was friendly and looks good. Seems to be stable , all around excellent program. However 7-Zip is also small on the resources but interface is not as good as Winrar and doesn't compress rar. I will keep an eye on this open source zip compressor when the beta-version is finished . This also is an excellent zip compressor. Question is I don't really want or need two compression programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
