Do I need to buy winzip?

Is there a freeware program as good as winzip?

If you're into skinning your desktop etc, I use stardock's object desktop suite (costs about $50). That includes objectzip which I actually prefer to winzip. I'm not sure of any good standalone zip programs though.

winrar has a 14day trial and then you can use it after this just it has a pop up to which you click close each time,, i use winrar exclusivly,,,, or with xp you could use the inbuilt zip package

40 days not 14.

winrar is the best IMHO.

windows Me and XP come with a zip facility.

You could always use powerdesk plenty of tools including a zip unzip facility.

Another alternative is http://www.tugzip.com. It deals with zip files and is freeware.

A paid for alternative to Winzip, that you may want to consider is Powerarchiver - http://www.powerarchiver.com.
If you have an earlier version of Windows you can still find the earlier (freeware versions) of Powerarchiver on some download sites.

Just ZipIt https://www.just-zipit.com might be worth a peek.

Freezip is good. Give it a twirl. If you need something more professional Winrar is the top of the pile.
