Experiences with PowerArchiver?

[peterchen]

Does anyone use PowerArchiver[^] I've used the "last free version" for quite a while, and it wasn't bad. Any experiences with the new one?

i don't really like it. i tried it one time, and couldn't open successfully some zip, so, i gave up. now, i far prefer WinRar, which still allow you to use zip format, but also .rar which is much better compressed format... just a matter of taste maybe :cool:

Yes, I tried it briefly on Win2k and couldn't get it to work properly (similar problem to you), so gave up.

I prefer ZipGenius[^] which is free.

Used to use it ... when it was slim and trim, then started to hate it (I think it was version 2002 when I started to really dislike it). Now I use 7-Zip[^], when I want an external Zip file compression tool. But Total Commander[^] has one built-in directly to the UI ... so I rarely even use 7-Zip.

A little too ingenious for my taste. :~
