is there an alternative and FREE never expires winzip like program please? Tankies in Advance :D
 
I use this it works fairly well and is free.

It's free and NOT limited PLUS it does all of this.

ALZIP: For all your file compression needs, ALZip opens virtually every archive format imaginable. From ALZ and ACE to ZIP and ZOO, it even opens CD images too.

Lost a ZIP password? Get it back with the ALZip password recovery tool. Create SFX files with cute ALZip icons, manage your ZIP and archive files with the intuitive ALZip explorer interface, and create or extract archives in 2 clicks.
 
And you would be using something you didn't pay for since it is trial software.

Must not really be a problem if Eugene Roshal hasn't put in a better restriction into WinRAR to refuse to load after the 30 days. :rolleyes:

The idea of "trial" ware is largely a joke when the software in question still works after the "trial" is over. See also: Winzip. Hell I can remember people used to joke all the time about how much past the trial that their Winzip was. Meanwhile you have other software that refuses to work after a trial (ie anything by Adobe comes to mind, like a Creative Suite product trial). WinRAR falls into a class most people refer to as "nag ware". I don't consider WinRAR to be a trial; I'd consider a CS5 trial as a "trial".

I'm not advocating it, I'm just saying. That's why I use 7zip. No nag, no trial.

It's the same w/ alzip it's not nag ware or trial.
