Anyone use FilZip?
« on: September 13, 2005, 01:48 PM »
I'm going to add FilZip to the Best Archive Tools review later this week, but was wondering if anyone uses it here?

If so, tell us what you like about it.

I use it... but I don't really use compression software all that much.  Basically, I just expand stuff I download from the internet and, every once in a while compress stuff.  Nothing fancy.  That being said, from what I've used of FilZip it is relatively simple to use, has good shell context menus, and doesn't seem terribly bloated.   As far as specific things you tested in the review, I don't really know!

I really liked FilZip. If you're only doing basic ZIP compression, this is one the best freeware archivers around. It reminds me a lot of WinRAR because it shares so much of the same structure.
