I made the mistake of purchasing a WinZip license once, many many years ago. I then spent years trying to get them to stop sending me spam emails promoting the latest version, despite repeatedly opting out of all email. In the end, I just had to block the entire domain.
Since 7-Zip[^] is free, I don't understand why anyone would ever pay for a different zipping tool.

You are quite right. I even have 7-Zip installed on my machine though it rubbed me the wrong way I don't recall why exactly as it's been a while. I don't recall why I purchased WinZip. May I please inquire does 7-Zip support batch file processing. If it does I will stop utilizing WinZip which does support it but one only knows it if one inquires of Corel re/ same. Maybe they will even tell me if my shoes are on fire if I inquire politely.

It's been a long time since I've used WinZip, so I can't remember exactly what "batch processing" it offers. But you can use 7zip from the command-line - try 7z --help to see the list of commands and switches you can use.

Thank you for directing me to 7-Zip. It supports a "@listfile" argument which no doubt is a batch file. Precisely what I need. I still require the ability to see the archive contents and the heirarchy therein and the ability to move things around within the archive via cut copy paste etc. just as one can in Windows Explorer. To my surprise 7-Zip does not seem to provide this even though it duplicates much of this functionality for source files on permanent storage. The archive itself remains hidden from view. So I guess I'm stuck w/ WinZip. The horror.

@ListFile is a file that contains a list of all the files to backup, useful when they are scattered about a bit
usual gotcha with 7zip is do NOT use -r unless you really understand it. It isn't recurse sub directories but forces 7zip to search the disk for matching file names not as intuitive as it could be

If you right click on a *.7zip file, then you get a 7-zip context menu. In that sub-menu there is an option to "Open Archive". You can also open that archiving program directly from c:\Program Files\7-zip\7zFM.exe (FM = file manager).
Once you have the archive open, you can do what you want with the files within.
Hope that helps,

Thank You for directing me to 7-Zip. Unfortunately upon test I found its GUI more clunky than WinZip's. Virtually unusable if attempting to view and manipulate archive contents. It seems I am stuck w/ WinZip. Perhaps this is why I purchased it.

I, too, use 7-Zip. And am proud to say I’m one of the handful of people who paid (donated) for WinRAR. I had WinZip many years ago.

The only reason I've ever needed to use WinZip is when I had the need to create a self-extracting archive. I don't believe 7zip does that. Other than that, one use case, I really prefer 7zip.

Yeah, I've been using 7zip for so long I pretty much forgot that WinZip even existed.

Last I checked, maximum rar compression was still better in many cases. Has that changed in the past few years?

I wasn't even aware WinZip had been acquired by Corel - and according to the Wikipedia article, that happened in 2006.
That seals the deal (even though that wasn't likely to ever happen) - I will never purchase it.
And I say that as a former employee of theirs.

I switched to 7-Zip years ago for this very reason.

Back in the early nineties I bought a WinZip perpetual, lifetime, free upgrades, all-you-can-eat licence. A few years later when I went to install an upgrade they did the same to me. I sent a copy of my licence to tech support and requested they honour the commitment I paid for, and got a reply in the vein of 'that was then and this is now' and 'that was them and this is us' reply from whoever had just bought it. They finished the email with the statement "We never said it would be free forever" which was precisely what they had promised.
I got a good buddy in the corporate legal department (I had risen through the ranks of coder to MD of their Middle East subsidiary) to write a very-nasty-gram to the new owners stating that as they had bought the original owner of the product and not liquidated them and purchased the assets they were legally bound to accept all outstanding liabilities. Never got a reply I and I have used WinRAR ever since.

Ditto. In the 90's, WinZip had the best interface -- far better than PKWare's meager offering. I purchased the perpetual license and was very happy.
The original developer sold it, and it turned NagZip. I've tried numerous Zip tools over the years, and WinZip -- as much as it irritates me -- has the best interface, especially with large archives.
When I update a license, I let the software check for upgrades monthly. When a new version comes out and they want $$$, I turn off checks, as they no longer update the previous version. Every 4 or 5 years they'll offer a great "upgrade" price and I'll snag a new version. I think I'm on v22 now, and current version is v27. At some point they'll offer me an upgrade price of $10, and I'll probably do it. If that never happens? v22 works fine ...
