    Still a very supreme program, couldn't think of a better, even if I wanted to :-)

    All I need in compressing and handling of compressed files, FTP, backup, burner and then some.

    I really love this program.

    And a BIG thank you to Mili Sefic for great support, keep up the good work guys.

    P.L.

    Just bought PowerArchiver 2011, and it's all I needed, I used many of the free programs for years, but I got a good offer on PowerArchive I couldn't resist.

    To me this is a musthave tool, with a great support.

    P.L.
