Re: Utilities
There's also a completely free (open source) compression/file manager for Windows called 7-Zip. [url]http://www.7-zip.org/[/url]
[url=http://www.gn.apc.org/support/download/7z423.exe]Download 7-Zip version 4.23 for Windows here[/url]. You will probably then want to run it and associate it with .zip and .gz at least.
The major advantage of this one is that it can read and write in BZ2/bzip2 format, which is the Linux higher-compression-ratio standard. A few flaws: you can only read, not write, RAR archives; and you can only drag-and-drop into an archive, not out of it. But with enough support, it could become the best compression utility.
(July '05) Given that WinZip is now shareware, 7-Zip probably is the best.
