ALZip 8.12

The ESTsoft-developed application ALZip can be used for two main tasks: the application can unzip archives, and it can zip files into archives. Focusing on ALZip’s unzipping capabilities, it must be told that the application provides support for a long list of zip formats.

Some 40 zip formats to be more precise. If you’re curious to see which zip formats ALZip provides support, here’s a detailed list: ZIP, 7Z, RAR, EGG, TAR, TBZ, LZH, Z, JAR, ALZ, ACE, ARC, ARJ, B64, BH, BHX, BIN, BZ, BZ2, CAB, EAR, ENC, GZ, HA, HQX, ICE, IMG, LHA, MIM, NRG, PAK, TBZ2, TGZ, UUE, UU, WAR, XXE, ISO, LCD, ZOO.

ALZip’s secondary function is to let you create archives. In this regard the application allows you to come up with ZIP, EGG, ALZ, TAR, TBZ, TGZ, LZH, JAR archives.

Should you decide to get ALZip, there are some technical bits and pieces you will want to know about. First of all you should know that the download weighs in at close to 10MB. You cannot start using ALZip as soon as the download completes; you must install the application first. This is a simple enough process that should not take long. You can install ALZip on XP, Vista (32-bit and 64-bit versions), and on Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit versions). You can use ALZip free of charge for quite a long period of time: 60 days. This should be more than enough time for you to figure out if you want to keep using ALZip. If you do, you will have to get a license – which is quite affordable.

If you are searching for a good looking, easy to use application that allows you to unzip a myriad of archives, then you need to take a look at ALZip.
