Archive tools are a must on one's computer. Most downloadable files on the net are archived to occupy less space and generate less traffic. Even software downloads are usually in ZIP files, not mentioning the RAR format that is getting more and more popular as well as TAR format that is very common in Unix-oriented communities. In the past you'd have to buy at least two shareware utilities to handle all these files, now you only have to download once the free IZArc and - consider it done.
     IZArc is a powerful archive utility that recognizes a variety of archive formats - some two dozen at least - from as widespread as ZIP and RAR to as rare as XXE and ZOO. This tool has a familiar interface for those who used WinZip and other similar programs extensively. The tool has a multitude of features, among which are: repairing broken archives, converting and testing them, emailing archives, password-protecting them and, of course, shell extension capabilities - you can access the program directly from Windows Explorer.
     The tool is free, powerful and easy to use. Download it today and see that for yourself.
