WinRar, WinZip or WinAce. Depends on the type of file you want to compress

You don't have to pay for winrar ,if you don't it just bugs you on start up that its shareware or some crap and you just click ok or cancel then you can carry on using it.

Actually - using winar past its 40 days trial period without paying for it would be illegal..

So,its there fault if they dont make it lock out after 40 days.

WinRAR is my favorite one. It opens most kinds of compressed archives like zip, tar, etc

Win Ace is far superior compared to winrar or winzip, has better compression technology and is compatiable with all compression formats.

if u get the programs off magazines like pc power etc it doesnt have the 40 days trial period.

I think winrar is the best, winace is good but gives me some problems with .rar files :(

If any of you guys live in the UK - there is a feature on different compression software in 'Webuser' magazine (99p) if your interested.

btw: winrar was the best
