Title: Zip program
Post by: kelojo on April 26, 2005, 11:06:47 AM

My OS=Win95... I d/loaded regclean.exe. When I try to run the .exe it says to Unzip it - so I run Unzip and it says "3 files unzipped successfully". However it calls for Winzip and I don't have that program installed - I have Easy Zip.  Is there another "free" Zip program available for me to install regclean.exe? Thanx for any and all suggestions.

Try PowerArchiver freeware ver 5.6.
Do a google search and follow the link. ;D

Thanks cigarman and nigel.  I will try and d/l the free trial of Winzip first...but since its only a 21 day trial will "regclean" continue to work after that? I would like to keep using regclean on a continuing basis..so its important to know if I can do this after the free trial is up.  I don't want to pay for WZip if I can avoid doing so.

Once you unzip the file with winzip it will remain unzipped, even if you don't have winzip.
I've still got my free version of winzip and it lets me unzip files but not zip them up.  :)

Your choice both will work, Powerarchiver v 5.6 is totally free and fully functional, zip and unzip and more.. ;D
