WinZip 11.0 Released

Advertisement (Why?)

WinZip 11.0 includes features that build on the solid foundation established with WinZip 10.0. We applied user feedback to help improve the Job Wizard, and added a number of compression and usability enhancements, as well as the ability to open .BZ2 and .RAR files.

Like WinZip 10.0, you can select WinZip 11.0 with Standard or Pro features, and both offer compression enhancements that make WinZip 11.0 the most versatile WinZip ever. Our new "best compression" option allows you to let WinZip decide the best compression method for each file based on the file type. This will ensure that you maximize the compression of every file that you add to your Zip file. WinZip 11.0 also allows you to better zip .wav music files without compromising the integrity of the file or its sound quality. What's more, if you need to open a .BZ2 or .RAR file, WinZip can now be your tool of choice.

If you depend on WinZip Pro's Job Wizard to back up data sets, archive important documents, or distribute information to others on a regular basis, you'll appreciate the enhancements available in WinZip 11.0 Pro. Now you can configure the Job Wizard to email the log file and/or resulting Zip file automatically after completion, use our new "browse" feature to find a specific folder on an FTP server, and select custom jobs directly from the Job Wizard and Quick Pick menus.

I guess I forgot they were even trying to charge for a product like this ... between WinRAR and 7z you really don't need to pay to unzip a file anymore.

#1.1 acrophile on 15 Nov 2006 - 21:49

last time I checked, winrar wasn't free either.

lol ... *blush* oops. You are right. but I still have a special spot for WinRAR.

#1.3 Jebadiah on 15 Nov 2006 - 22:47

Still Winrar opens files even after the trial period. There's simply a message that tells you something like your 40 day trial period is over.

Winzip gets on your nerves by counting the number of days you've used their software. The counting is 1 day per second. *sigh*

I use Winrar for everything now.

#1.4 ThaCrip on 16 Nov 2006 - 06:07

i agree!

... since winrar is pretty much become the standard winzip is pretty much old school now... plus when u got free compression programs that offer the best compression out there like the .7z format ( www.7-zip.org ) then theres no need to use winzip anymore.

#1.5 Jugalator on 16 Nov 2006 - 08:19

Just use e.g 7zip or TUGZip instead if you want something free. They aren't even hard to use for novices.

I prefer Tugzip these days. Its free and can do RAR and ACE files.

#2.1 Matt Zander on 16 Nov 2006 - 04:15

Tugzip is great. So is Zip Genius.

#3 shade88 on 15 Nov 2006 - 22:55

people still purchase this product?

if you really want to purchase a compression utility let it be winrar, otherwise just get the free 7-zip.

winrar ftw
it works for me after the trial period, just has a popup window asking you to register.

Even Windows has .ZIP support.

#7.1 Jugalator on 16 Nov 2006 - 08:23

Hehe, yeah, and since that's all I've seen most WinZip users really need (zip/unzip a bunch of files/dirs), it's even funnier.

#8 MrCobra on 16 Nov 2006 - 07:05

WZ used to be a good utility back in the day. It's a shame that it's slowly been turning to crap especially now that Corel owns it, it will get worse.

#9 Jugalator on 16 Nov 2006 - 08:21

At least now we RAR users can start bitching on WinZip users and whine that they should go WZ 11 so we can use a superior format.

#10 pixels on 16 Nov 2006 - 11:12

7-Zip FTW!

Just about the first thing I install on a clean Windows installation.

#11 VinnyH on 16 Nov 2006 - 12:28

I guess if you want to do some scheduled zipping and ftp those zipped files to some server, something I do on a daily basis, there maybe some value to winzip. At least that's all I am using it for

there was not a linux fanboys claiming about gunzip (or tag -gz) ? or a iFanboy saying that stuffit is da best?

:-º

#12.1 Havin_it on 16 Nov 2006 - 23:14

Well uh, I quite like Ark, I guess...

And nobody in their right mind would big-up Stuffit. That piece of **** is more annoying than Winzip.

#13 Kushan on 17 Nov 2006 - 00:33

Yeah seriously, this program hasn't been useful for over half a decade.

i thought winzip was dead and buried

#14.1 Joshua-San on 17 Nov 2006 - 12:06

Nah, it's like a bad vomit stain. You just can't wash it away.
