Any good free zipware?
I spent last night trying to open a zip file. I tried programs named Cam Unzip, Just zipit, Free zip and one I cant remember, None of wich worked. Can somebody turn me on to a free zip program that works please?
I am working with fresh install of windows 98se.

Sure, there are lots of free zip/unzip utilities out there. CAM Unzip is fine.

There are many more, and most work with Win98.

When I was using win98, I used this freezip: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nulifetv/freezip/

There was some other software using the same name, but it was adware.

My vote goes for 7zip. It does a great job of not only .zip files but .rar, .tar.gz and all matter of strange compression.

You can download it here http://www.brothersoft.com/7-zip-download-15148.html It is freeware!
