7zip is a small software that can creative and extract archives in 7z, rar, zip , tar, gzip.

the 7z file format results in very smaller archives.

7-Zip is a free (in both senses) file archiver for Windows as a GUI/CLI and for other OS's it exists as a CLI only (I think it was forked).

Either ways, when I was on Windows, I used it and I can surely recommend it. It's better than WinZip and WinRAR and it's free too! smile.gif

7-zip is a software utility used to compress/de-compress files. It supports de-compressing a wide variety of formats. It's native format, 7z, is very efficient at compressing files and you'll often see a better compression ratio with 7z than with Zip or Rar. Perhaps the only format able to achieve a better compression ratio is StuffIt.

7-zip is both free and open-source.

Hi,

7-zip EasySFX gives you ability to easily create simple SFX or even advanced installer SFX packages.
User friendly graphical interface will lead you step by step,
so it should be easy enough even for less techy users
Say goodbye to big fat and inefficient ZIP SFX packages for installers and welcome the new era of ultra small 7-zip LZMA powered SFX packages!

It is a open source software. Most of the source code is under the GNU LGPL license. The unRAR code is under a mixed license: GNU LGPL + unRAR restrictions.

understand it?

  22. Internet Explorer- Http Error 500 Glitch.
    Read this article I made for more info. (3)
    Intenet Explorer Glitch causes HTTP Error 500, which is then cached to become "permanent"! In
    Internet Explorer (this occours in ALL versions by the way), the loading of the homepage can lag
    considerably if you open IE before connecting to any service. If you open up another page before the
    homepage loads, you'll more than likely get a "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error". Due to the way
    Internet Explorer deals with pages, the error would be stored in a Cache when it happens. By
