ZipGenius has all the main features of compression programs (zip, unzip and so on), but it's different from the others because it offers very special features. You can give better protection to your archives using encryption instead of the standard zip password, you can send e-mail using the built-in mail client or you can publish archives on the Web with FTPGenius, the built-in FTP client.

    Great program love the self extracting zip files. Win Zip doesn't have it.

    I find nothing special about this archiver. 7-Zip and IZArc blow it out of the water. It's huge, (18mb compared to 3mb for 7-Zip) It doesn't unarchive ISO or IMG files, it's not really portable. I do like the Explorer extensions, but that's about all.

    I discovered ZipGenius on File Forum when looking for a replacement for WinZip. That was in about 2005. Going into 2008, this is still a great free program.

    Nice multi-archive tool. Not bad for a free utility. Had a lot of features, and works with all of the major archive types.

    I found this, when looking for a freeware archive uncompress tool for a friend that needed one.

    It is freeware unlike Winzip and Winrar...
