Zip File Maker for Free anywhere?

Hi,

I'm in need of a way to make Zip files.

I've used bitzipper and winzip but they cost too much for what they do and how much I need to use them.

Just used the evaluation period up on the winzip, 45-days and only 5 files, so it is hard to justify $40 to purchase.

Anyone know of a good zip?

Thanks for any help / links you can provide!

Best regards,
Mike Bauer

Try 7-zip. It's free and works very well.

You can download it at: 7-Zip

NOTE: By the way -- windows already has a native ZIP archive creator. From the file manager, select your files. Then right-click, and choose the "Send To->Compressed Folder" menu option. (Despite this, I prefer using 7zip.)
Eric

Wow! Thank you everyone 7-zip is already downloaded, but thinking to try the others as well.

Everytime I did a search on google the same ones kept showing up, and they all wanted too much money!

Like the gizmo homepage says, "#1 freeware bookmarked page". Yep, bookmarked and will do some exploring as time permits.

Thank you for the quick and very helpfull responses!

Best regards,
Mike Bauer
