    It supports 7-zip format very well. You can create and extract 7-zip files. Besides, it's free, but has that annoying nag screen at startup.

    Very nice little utility with a nice features. Just 3 stars, because of that nag screen and cause there are some really good absolutely free alternatives.

    You have to pay for It, but it does not support 7z? Come on!
    I suggest 7-zip o peazip instead, you will be able to open any format and compress with a much better compression ratio, for free. As I see it, it has no chance: Less for more ($) is not a good choice.

    The interface is extremely similar to WinZip (eerily close in fact), but the price is much more reasonable. Support for all the standards, like ZIP, RAR, ACE, CAB, JAR, LHA, LZH, 7Z and more. Unfortunately, the a comment by a previous poster appears to no longer be true, this software is not free for personal use. (They do have a "Trial Pay" option though, just like WinZip.)

    Works ok. Seems to be very similar to PowerArchiver!

    This is actually freeware for home use. This has been my standard zip
    program for several years. It has always been flawless when using
    the shell extension within 'file' explorer. Very nice program.

    It looks like no one has paid attention to this for a few years. It deserves
    a try.
