Need -a- Clue
asked on
Which is the best UNZIP program to purchase?
I need to purchase the most comprehensive ZIP utility. There seem to be many choices with different capabilities. Many "features" may or may not be useful. I simply want to be able to unzip most any compressed file without the need to buy yet another unzip program. Can any Expert recommend a good product for me? Please first evaluate the zip offering by NCH and let me know if that might be a good choice. Thanks so much.

Experts, it seems like I have received an instant answer. I will close this question in the hopes that 7-zip will work for my needs. Thanks so much for your most valuable suggestions!
NCH looks decent at a quick read, but I’ve never used it. The interface is a little dated but not bad.
WinZip is a popular offering too, but I fin it overly complex and bloated, not to mention pretty expensive.
You do want to assemble a list of all the various file formats and options YOU need and then verify the program you select supports all of those. Also reasonably frequent updates is typically desirable.
