Publisher's description
From PKWARE :Free ZIP Reader unzips any ZIP archive and decrypts SecureZIP files. From PKWARE, the originators of the .ZIP file format. ZIP Reader is a free Windows utility that allows users to open files that have been compressed using SecureZIP or PKZIP--or any other ZIP product. Even better than the pkunzip utility of the past, ZIP Reader decrypts Secure ZIP files created by any PKWARE product, regardless of hardware platform. That means Windows users can access files encrypted and compressed on Windows, UNIX, Linux, iSeries, and zSeries systems. Simple to use with a slick auto launch feature--just double click on a ZIP file or drag-and-drop the ZIP file to the ZIP Reader icon. The file unzips automatically.
Version 8.0 features minor improvements and bug fixes.

Version: ZIP Reader 8.0
"Greatest free utility since Acrobat Reader 7.0!"
Pros: This is the greatest improvement to a product since Adobe came out with Reader 7.0. Works lightning fast, no nuisance screens, and it downloads to a separate folder for the application being unzipped, not a generic "unzipped" folder. 10x as fast, overall, as WinZip, and twice as easy! I feel guilty not paying for this one. Also, zero conflicts with the rest of my pc. Download this, remove WinZip, and don't look back. Enjoy!
Cons: I don't have the license/marketing rights to this product.
