Many a times people tend to face a problem for zipping/ compressing / unzipping, basically this problem arises due to cracked / pirated versions of winrar installed on their systems.
A permanent and free solution or one can say an open source software/application widely available and rarely recognized is 7zip this application is available for free on the net and is compatible with almost every operating system.
details of the software can be found on https://7-zip.org. Some of the features that this software can perform are. High compression ratio in 7z format with LZMA and LZMA2 compression
-Supported formats: Packing / unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM Unpacking only: ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DEB, DMG, FAT, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, =MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, VHD, WIM, XAR and Z.
- For ZIP and GZIP formats, 7-Zip provides a compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than the ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip
- Strong AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP formats
- Self-extracting capability for 7z format
- Integration with Windows Shell
- Powerful File Manager
- Powerful command line version -Plugin for FAR Manager
-Localizations for 87 languages
i suppose this solves the problem of piracy and easy of use and installation.
7-Zip works in Windows 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP / 2013 / 2008 / 2003 / 2000 / NT. There is a port of the command line version to Linux/Unix.
recommended for all those who dislike piracy
