Nice one sharedholder :D
thanks alot

everything on the k-lite K++ website is compressed with this now, you might have noticed the filesizes are a little smaller, for those anally-retentive fact fans

Cheers mate

Thanks just updated my freeware basics folders. For paying customers. Few & far between, though they are. :P

BTW does anyone think this is better than WinRAR? I don't just wondering what others think. Thanks.

I'll stick with WinRAR.

only for long-term storage, its too slow and ugly

Ok upside, i tested it and got this...

Compressed results for 82kb

Winrar: 24kb

7z: 20kb

Compressed results for 1.79mb

Winrar: 1.57mb

7z: 1.37mb

Downsid...

• Bad GUI
• You need 7z software to open 7z compressed file
• Slow, so very slow
