New Version of Winzip Just Released

Thursday, April 10, 2008 by Leo the Lion | Discussion: New Releases

Yep, that favorite little zip utility just got an update. Here's the change log, if you are interested. Time to update your zipper, guys!!!!!

WinZip® 11.2 is an update to our most recent major release, WinZip 11.0. In addition to the features introduced in WinZip 11.1 and WinZip 11.0 (outlined below), WinZip 11.2 changes include:

  • Unicode support to ensure international characters are displayed for filenames in a Zip file when the Zip file is shared between two computers having different code pages (the default set of text characters available for display.)  For Unicode support, the Zip file must be created and opened with a zip utility that supports the Unicode extensions to the Zip file format such as WinZip 11.2
  • Integrated support for LHA to create, open and extract LHA archives (.LHA and .LZH). This eliminates the need for a third-party DOS program
  • Removal of support for DOS-based, third-party programs such as ARJ and ARC
  • Minor bug fixes and enhancements

LOL....I'm still using version 8.1 or something. Actually, I just use WinRAR for everything now.

Win Zip to me is important but I paid one time and I think it's goofy to have to pay every year for the program.

This version of Winzip now handles rar files as well.

It's no different than most software's (Object Desktop included) major releases payment concept.

What's that?  Anything like snicker?  Good thing you didn't miss a letter there.  'Bout that time, the forums would blow up and not let you edit...

Yes, just like a snicker, only sounding like Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady"  And yes, I, too am glad I didn't do a typo just the. Whew, close call.
