Winzip?
« on: August 17, 2009, 03:51:03 pm »
Welp, i got winzip and i thought you could just keep using the evaluation thiing, apparently i need to buy it. Now, is there a way to bypass that legally? or is there a free non-virus winzip program out there? mm..

Winrar has a nag screen but you can always just click 'close' and use the program as usual.

There's a nag screen?

It never comes up if you only use the right-click menu(s).

At least for extraction.

Stick to 7zip. It's the best.

There is a nag screen if you open up the GUI for it.

Yeah but it's otherwise pretty much free.

I used to have an old version of winzip that would let you keep using it, the nag message got a bit more irritating, but it still worked.

Then I lost that version.

Now i use 7zip.
