Introduction Utilities that compress one or more files into one smaller file have been around since the first personal computers were introduced. These archive or zip file utilities were known by various names such as arc, pkarc and pkzip and they were run from a command line. Considering that most personal computers back then didn't have a hard drive larger than 10 MB (if they even had one at all) and were only connected via modem speeds up to 1200bps, these compression utilities were essential for saving space and shortening upload and download times. Even though today's computers have much more storage space and faster connection speeds, compression utilities are still incredibly useful for saving time and hard disk space. Through their modern graphical interfaces, drag and drop capability, support for multiple compression formats, security features and much more, they are also easier than ever to use.

I was using 7-Zip for a long time. I could live with spartan interface because I mostly used it through explorer context menu.

Then once I had to add a file to exting archive and there was a problem. Opened archive, clicked add button and it said action is unsupported?! After a while I found that you can drag and drop a file from exploer onto 7-Zip with exisitng archive opened and then it will ask if you want to add a new file to exisitng archive. But even using it that way, 7-Zip crashed on me sometimes. Dicided to find something else and tried Bandizip (listed to be reviewed). I found it far more user friendly and add button works as expected (compared to 7-Zip).

There is less options to choose from in archive crating dialog which is less confusing for novice users. But if you really want, you can open 7-Zip's own dialog for creating a 7-Zip archive with Bandizip. Curiously you can't do it from the main Bandizip interface, but you can add option to open 7-Zip's dialog to explorer context menu. When creating self-extracting file Bandizip offers an option to add a title and some custom text if you want to (compared to 7-Zip). Also an option to open a chosen file after self-extraction is completed. But as I said you can get to 7-Zip's native dialog if you really want to make a self-extracting file with 7-Zip's dialog. Also tried Peazip.

Gave up because I mostly use archive operations from explorer context menu and with smaller files. Compared to 7-Zip and Bandizip, Peazip take much longer time to start up and begin operation.
