I use WinZip because I tried WinRAR one time and I didn't think it was really any better than WinZip.

100% better than winzip (http://www.rarlabs.com/download.htm)

Winrar without a doubt, opens files winzip can't and files that winzip says are corrupt.

winRAR all the way.

Handles both filetypes and more, compression is better, etc. etc.

ZIP/RAR/ISO/GZIP..etc anything and looks nicer. :P

I use both...

But Winrar seems the better choice

Why?
Get WinZIP off.

Anyone use WinACE?

you never have to pay, it just kicks a nag error
just x-out and continue, if its that much of a bother, find a serial # or crack, but you really don't have to

I use WinRAR and Power Archiver 2003. Also a great program.

I keep it installed for the occasional .ace archived download, but I never use it to create archives.

I prefer WinRar but it never seems to open .zip files properly. So Winzip for Zip Rar for anything else. Better to have both, theyre free anyway.

WinXP&#39;s built-in .ZIP support works perfectly fine for me. don&#39;t really need a special program for .ZIPs.

for other compressed formats i use WinRAR, and on very rare occasions i use StuffIt.
