Version: BitZipper 4.1 SR-1
"WinZip plus a whole lot more"
Pros: I always used WinZip mainly because I liked the interface and the program. However the main features that I want in WinZip are already in BitZipper. Firt of all, I only need one program to extract files instead of using both WinAce and WinZip. Secondly, it shows me the directory structure in the .zip file. This is nice because I can know when the .zip file has directory structure and I can extract files from a specific directory. There are many other features where this program trumps WinZip, but those two sealed the deal.
Cons: None

Version: BitZipper 5
Pros: I've been an user of WinRAR for years, althought I always used the demo version until one day I got tired of the 40 days expiration window screen.
While surfing on SerialDealers I found this software, I had 2 or 3 credits left so I decided to buy it, I didn't try the trial, I just went away and bought the full.
I liked it since the first time I used it, it had almost everything I wanted, and even some new features that at first I thought I wouldn't use but now I do, such as the backup feature.
I also saw that it had a very simple wizard, althought I'm an experienced Windows user for years, I just went away with the classic interface which really reminds of WinZip, althought I haven't used WinZip in seven years, at that time, WinAce or WinRAR was a better choice for me.
I can tell I like everything about this program, I haven't had any DLL corrupting problem like I read in the previous coment, I have this program since April or May and it has worked perfectly since then.
-Uncompresses all archive formats, even many that I didn't know they existed
-Has a backup tool which doesn't seem very interesting at first, until you're more into the program and you find it very useful, this isn't seen in any other archive utility. This is like an extra, which after all gets to be very interesting.
-Very WinZip style, if you're used to WinZip, this one will be so easy to use.
-Batch tool, another tool I thought I wouldn't use and now I do.
I don't know what else I can tell about this software, just that I'm very happy with it.
Cons: Unlucky, it has some cons that I found, I hope they can be fixed in the future, it would make this tool much more interesting.
-It's not able to compress into RAR or ACE format, being a WinRAR user for years makes me want a "compress to RAR" option.
-It's not able to uncompress Install Shield self extracting files like WinRAR does.
Otherwise I'm very happy with it.

Version: BitZipper 5
Pros: I am the developer of BitZipper, and strongly object to the "review" posted above. BitZipper on no way corrupts DLLs on a user's system. It does not modify any files at all, and only install its own files in a directory you chose yourself.

Version: BitZipper 4.1 SR-1
"The best of all the zip utilities I've tried."
Pros: First, it has all the features I need: AES encryption, backup utility, explorer-style browsing of archives, support for a number of formats. Of course, there are other zip utilities with comparable features, but what sets BitZipper apart, I think, is its clean, easy-to-use interface.
Cons: None worth mentioning.
