WinZip 11 Beta Now Includes Limited RAR Support

[kcnychief]

New in WinZip 11.0 Beta

Allow WinZip to Select "Best Compression" Automatically​

Make the most of the improved compression methods by letting WinZip decide for you which method to use.​

Zip .wav Music Files​

A special algorithm will compress .wav files smaller than ever.​

.BZ2 and .RAR File Support (Extract Only)​

Open .BZ2 and .RAR files.​

Configure the Job Wizard to Email Reports and Zip Files Automatically (Pro only)​

Now the Job Wizard can send you an email to confirm whether a scheduled job completed successfully or alert you of problems. You can also configure the Job Wizard to email the resulting Zip file and/or the Job's log file.​

View Thumbnails within WinZip​

If you have any images in a Zip file you can now browse through them viewing the thumbnails without first extracting the images from the Zip file. This makes it a lot easier and quicker to work with images in Zip files.​

View Full-size Images with WinZip's New Image Viewer (Pro Only)​

If you need a closer look, sometimes a thumbnail just won't do. Now you can view images without manually extracting the image from the Zip file.​

Re: WinZip 11 Beta Now Includes RAR Support

Think maybe your title should say includes limited RAR support?

Reason: Winzip will only be able to open and extract RAR files not create them.

I like the new winzip site also. I use both winzip and winrar. I guess I could just use winrar, but, I like to take up space. Plus, I just love the winzip icon 🙂

WinZip 11.0 is now available. Oddly enough it doesn't say if it will work under Vista.

"Requirements: Windows 2000/XP"

I have to ask, is there a free extraction program (including RAR) that works with Vista?

7zip

Supported formats:

* Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR
* Unpacking only: RAR, CAB, ISO, ARJ, LZH, CHM, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB and NSIS

Winzip and WinRar work also but aren't always free..

As for Vista and WinZip: Corel WinZip will be releasing an updated version 11 in the coming month that includes support for Vista and new features to spice things up.

winzip is old hat; you can get utils like 7zip that extracts .zip files and much more.
