QUOTE(fffanatics @ Apr 22 2006, 04:47 AM)  OK i use winrar for .rar files and just use the windows .zip file opener for the rest. I just find it easier and more efficient to do it this way. Why using both, when WinRar can open .zip files just as easy as WinZip does? I prefer WinRar cuz it's easy, fast and open many type of files. |

WinRAR is More Efficient for compression any file. But any scripts not support rar arhivation, scripts usially support .zip or .tar.gz arhivation.

I prefer winrar. it keeps all the files archived in the right heirarchy whereas winzip would just thorw all the files in the same directory. But in defense of winzip, I only compress files when I have a heirarchy such as folders and subfolders, etc.

I used to use WinZip. I sometimes still install it to make Self-Extracting EXE files. I have tried WinRAR, I think that program is awesome. However, it is only Shareware.
If you are comparing WinRAR to WinZip, WinRAR is better. However, it needs to be paid for. WinZip is nagware, waiting for xx seconds and click Continue. I prefer ZipGenius. You can download it from Download.com. It is freeware and it can perform functions somewhat between WinRAR and WinZip. Give it a try. |

http://www.rarlab.com/ is the website... and it just takes you to download.com to download it so your doing good
 anyways, i used to use winzip until i started downloading things that were in .rar folders, so ive been using that ever since.. and i think its pretty darn good |

I think WinRAR is better and high compression ratio but I still use winzip because I used it for a long time and be familiar with Winzip more.
