    Good product.

    Still some problem to compress on a USB device (key or drive) with ZIP format.

    I like the app, especially the fact that you can create self-extracting executables for free whether you are a personal or business user.

    However, development has slowed significantly and support is by the authors own admission, hardly available any more.

    While I applaud the effort, I simply can't give it the type of score I would like to give it. If it were more actively developed and supported, I think it would be a much better resource for users. But with WinRAR being so good and 7zip holding its own, TUGZip will have a hard time standing out from the crowd, I think.

    This is the best archive utility in my opinion.

    My only question is that this area is pretty crowded now with programs and do we really need another one?

    I give this program a 5, because it is clean, simple, works great.

    It does have a couple of things I can gripe about though.

    Winrar will allow you to add an icon to the SFX extractor, plus show a license screen (handy for showing ahem, the serials of some programs that went freeware & have the key included).

    But tugzip doesn't allow you to change the icon of the SFX. In addition, doesn't seem to support totally silent SFX like winrar, but shows an extract dialogue.

    Am slightly annoyed that it shows 3 possibilities for SFX package, but you can only use 1 because the other 2 are greyed out.

    But for zipping, unzipping, yada yada, works nice.
    Would really love to see support for viewing sfx comments (so you can remember/change it in the future if you have to, like winrar), & the ability to change the icon of the sfx, plus a totally silent sfx.

    Because sometimes you just want it to launch, say, a driver backup program with no dialogue.

    Overall, good program, but would be better with these enhancements!
