Unzip program?

[Josquius]

Winzip trial periods can run out? :s
And who uses that these days anyway, unzipping comes as standard in xp and winzip can't handle rars and all the other weird formats out there.

I like 7-zip.

Is there a free program out there.  I was using winzip but the trial period ran out.

if you are on XP, use Powerdesk, the free version.  It includes a ZIP function wich is the best i've ever seen so far.

On Vista, Peazip is supposed to be a little marvel, but I personally hate it.
7-Zip might not be so bad.

7zip is a quite good program. Zip, rar, ace, lhz... I still have to find a compression format it doesn't cover. But 7z, its native compression format, is... peculiar, to say the least; sure, it compresses files quite more than the others, but it is incredibly slow both in compression and decompression.

I am using vista.

All I really need this for is downloading and uploading paradox files during the HOI beta.  So far I have been changing programs whenever free trial periods end which is becoming a pain.

AFAIK you can use Winzip for free as long as you are only unzipping files, you only have to pay to compress them

I use 7zip myself.
