Quick Zip Lite
Editors' Review
A no-frills approach and lots of user guidance are offset only by one small glitch in this free archiving software.
Quick Zip Lite presents a familiar, two-pane interface with no design frills, just an unadorned, but cleanly functional, appearance. All of this tool's features are straight forward and easy to understand. The publishers includes links to animated Web sites showing how to use this utility. We liked the simplicity of creating a new archive using drag-and-drop, and being able to create and rename subfolders within an archive while we were building it.
Quick Zip Lite responded to all our commands quickly during our tests. It performed very well in creating archives. However, although the developer includes RAR files in the list of archive formats the utility supports, when we tried to open an RAR file, Quick Zip Lite wouldn't list the RAR files in our test folder in its Open dialog box. This is an odd bug we couldn't solve.
Otherwise, we were quite pleased with this freeware utility's performance and ease of use. Users needing a simple archive solution should give it a try.
