From Dirk Haase:
MacZip is a free tool that includes both zip (for compression) and unzip (for extraction) capabilities. MacZip can compress files for the following systems: Unix, VMS, MS-DOS, OS/2, Windows NT, Minix, Atari, Macintosh, Amiga, and Acorn RISC OS. MacZip also can unzip its own zipped archives. MacZip works with archives produced by PKZip, and PKZip and PKUnzip can work with archives produced by MacZip. In addition, the program supports encryption for secure archive creation.

"Files extract in unusable format (see other reviews)"
Version: MacZip 1.0.6
Pros
it's free?
Cons
Files extracted as .sit, which my Mac OS (10.6) doesn't recognize, so pretty useless. I got The Unarchiver instead, which works beautifully.
-
"Works for me"
Version: MacZip 1.0.6
Pros
Great for transferring large files to pcs
Cons
Nothing for me
Summary
How easy can it get?... You drag the file on it, it makes the zip file, and then you send it to those poor slobs in the PC world who can't deal with Mac files at all. Too bad we have to do their work for them. And best of all it's free!

"Did what it was supposed to do."
Version: MacZip 1.0.6
Pros
Very fast compression.
Cons
Not much gain in file size reduction.
-
"Downloads as HQX which creates a useless .sit file!"
Version: MacZip 1.0.6
Pros
It sounds like a nice idea but can't even use it.
Cons
20110920 14:32 central time. I opened the .hqx file which decompressed into a .SIT file which required Stuffit Expander to open. I downloaded MacZip *because* I don't have Stuffit/Stuffit Expander!
Summary
Cannot be used without Stuffit Expander. "Stuffit archives are not supported."
I think I figured it out. The OSes are not listed in the Quick Specs area. As near as I can tell, this for Pre-OSX OS Mac... the ones that ran only on PPC or before. (Moto processors?)
Updated on Sep 20, 2011
The HQX should expand into something that expands the rest of the way with the right SW that usually existed on those old Macs.
Try iZip, which is free (not a trial). It worked on my Intel Core 2 Duo with OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

"Use Zipeg instead"
Version: MacZip 1.0.6
Pros
nothing good about it.
Cons
it is very old and obsolete by now.
Summary
My friends keep switching to Macintosh and ask me about WinZip, WinRar. Obviously they replace "Win" by "Mac" and end up with 2 non-working products. My advise to them and to all of you: use ZIPEG. It is WinZip/WinRar for Mac.

"why don't this programs work, MacRAR and MacZIP, they just are code text in a format that is .sit so completely no use,"
Version: MacZip 1.0.6

"Zipeg does it better"
Version: MacZip 1.0.6
Pros
I sort of agree with bmiller2456`s review. Mac OSX does create zips. But when you expand it by double clicking on it it gets completely unpacked - which is not always what I want. Sometimes I just need 1 picture out of thousand - I will know it when I see it. There is newer free software called Zipeg that does exactly this. Funny it does not even attempt to create ZIPs leaving this job to OS tools.
Zipeg is like WinZip and WinRar but for both Macintosh and Windows. I like it better than StuffIt or MacZip.

"Unable to install; it required Mac Classic"
Version: MacZip 1.0.6
Pros
It seems great, lot of promise.
Cons
I won't install programs that require Mac Classic. Can't you modify / upgrade it to work with Mac 10?
