The Best Free Archiving Utility
Looking for an alternative program to open your zip files or other compressed file formats? Me too. I’ve been looking for a while, and I never really settle on anything. Check out TUGZip. It’s the best I’ve seen so far. Among some other that I’ve tried are 7-Zip, Winzip (damn that annoying registration notice), IZArc, and ZipGenius (This is also a good one… now that version 6 is complete, I might have to give it another go. Some minor problems with 6 Beta, made me want to switch. It’s also pretty bloated). TUGZip supports the 7-Zip format, rar, tar, ace, and of course zip. Those are some common ones that you might run into, and it does support a lot more than those. It has a nice clean UI, good shell integration, and it’s reasonably fast. It’s the best overall that I’ve seen so far. Agree? Disagree? Post a comment!
