Compress And Decompress Data Using ZipGenius

Compress And Decompress Data Using ZipGenius I always find myself amazed anytime I see someone that is still using WinZip. There are so many free utilities out there to choose from, and yet they still choose the one app that either requires you to pay or you have to wait minutes for a nag screen to disappear. 7-Zip is the one I normally recommend since it’s also a veteran with over 10-years under its belt, but I’m also rather fond of PeaZip.
