must say locustfurnace i always used winzip myself but after trying this program i must say im impressed and winzip is out of it, anyone who needs a zip program must give this a try its absolutely brilliant and i wouldnt use anything else now, as far as the younger generation go, my family say its simpler and faster than winzip.

7zip
I like it aswell its midsized resonably easy to use and fast will be even better when it supports spanning/splitting for archives (across multiple disks) which is fairly essential for me,but I must be a bit oldversion using floppies with all the flash memory available,but as no one else wants them theyr free:)

Keygen is illegal.. and most keygens are viruses, its very easy to register your programme using a keygen, but its not worth it.

PS: If you do use a keygen to register a product, can the company find out? and no, im not getting any ideas&#33; lol :P

This is why it is best to post that information, with the fix if you have it, in the exisiting thread that had the broken link this keeps the forum tidy and helps the next person that experiences your problems.

Links will not last forever but the thread remains
and the list of similar threads continues to grow making it more difficult to maintain or find what you want so by following this advice everyone can contribute to oldversion.com

This and similar advice is repeated throughout the forum it is not harsh or hard or aimed at anyone in particular but benefits all.

If guests like to register we have personal messaging for that&#33;
