Version: ZipGenius Standard Edition 6.3.1.2590
"Lightweight, no-frills ZIP utility"
Pros: Extrememly easy to use, tiny footprint, no install/uninstall issues, handles the vast majority of archive filetypes.
Cons: None to speak of.
Summary: Zip Genius is the perfect quick-fix solution for compression and decompression of ZIP and virtually all other archive filetypes. Its simple interface is a blessing to those unfamiliar with compression utilities in general. The small footprint and ease of installation/uninstall is a pleasant surprise. While it doesn't offer the full gamut of archiving features as its "for-pay" cousins, it does allow you to perform all of the basic tasks. Best of all, it's FREE.

2 modes - standard and expert mode.
