Editor: However, some of ZipX's features are quite advanced and might produce zip files that cannot be extracted in other archive utilities. For example, the use of digital certificates for encryption means that apart from ZipX, only PKWARE's SecureZIP will be able to Extract files from these archives.
ZipX also supports WinZip's new PPMd compression method. This method, being relatively new, may not be supported by other archive programs (apart from WinZip, of course). It gives very good compression, albeit at a much slower speed than the standard Deflate Algorithm.
Here are some of the main features supported in ZipX.
* Support for many popular archive formats including Zip, 7Zip, ACE, ARC, ARJ, RAR, CAB, LHA, JAR, TAR, TGZ, ZOO.
* Create Zip and CAB archives.
* Support for large Zip files (>4GB).
* Support all compression methods including WinZip's new PPMd compression method and Deflate64
* Support for PKZip Strong Encryption standard for all encryption methods (AES, DES, 3DES, RC2, RC4).
* Support for encryption using digital certificates.
* Support for encrypted file names (as per PKZip standard)
* Support for extracting files encrypted with WinZip's strong encryption methods.
* Encode files in UU Enc format for transmission over the internet.
* Support for PKZip disk spanning.
* Auto repair of damaged zip archives.
* Provides a tool to encrypt stand-alone files that are not part of a zip archive using strong encryption methods.
* Internal File Viewer for viewing files in text/binary format.
* Implements easy to use WinZip-like user interface.
* Drag and Drop from Windows Explorer when creating/updating zip files.
* Integrates into the Windows shell so that zip support is available via Windows Explorer.
* Provides a tool to split an existing archive into multiple segments according to user selected size.
* Creates self extracting archive (SFX) from a existing zip file.
