In depth
Features of Winzip include: right mouse button drag-and-drop, optional virus scanning, a wizard for quickly finding and unzipping files you recently downloaded, an Install button which runs SETUP.EXE or INSTALL.EXE if it's in an archive, the ability to easily install themes and screen savers from ZIP files, and support for other formats, including LZH, ARJ, ARC, MS Compress, self-extracting EXE, and Unix GZ, Z and TAR formats.
WinZip also lets you open and extract UUencoded, XXencoded, BinHex and MIME file and create UUencoded files.
WinZip handles disk spanning operations almost painlessly. If you create ZIP files that fill up more than one diskette, it automatically prompts you to put in a new diskette to continue the archive. There is no need to specify that you want to use disk spanning before creating the ZIP file.
With Winzip's Internet Browser Support Add-On, you can download and open archives from the Internet with a single click using Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. There is no need to "Save to disk" and then switch to WinZip or to the Windows Explorer or File Manager to open the downloaded file. In addition, all files that have been downloaded are automatically copied from your Web browser's temporary folders to a folder of your choice. This ensures that a permanent copy of the download is saved on your system, even if the downloaded file is automatically deleted by your browser.
