Best of all, it's Free Software. The downloadable program is only for the Win32 platform, however, has been ported to Unix, and compression utilities such as file-roller, available on all computers with Gnome, support for the compression and decompression.
I'm currently using it and advise. Does anyone have something to contribute? Anything you do not like?
