7 zip Open Source Archiver

Postby Hisham » Wed Apr 30, 2008 1:02 am

                ;DToday i am sharing with you a Archiver Called 7 ZIP. 7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio.
It's am Open Source Software which can unzip almost all file formats i.e. 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, LZH, CHM, GZIP, BZIP2, Z, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB formats.Compression ratio in the new 7z format is 30-50% better than ratio in ZIP format.

So do try it. It will save you from the annoying "Please Register" or "Trial Version" messages displayed by other compressors/Archivers.
Size:- 840KB (Easy to download)

Download Link:- http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... p_id=14481
