Publisher's Description
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. 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.

This is a little jewel. I downloaded it so I could open compressed files of albums of pics of my grandkids that my daughters sometimes compress and e-mail to me, or for misc files I might download. It open just about anything - zip files, rar, torrent files, and many more. Best of all it's free

Could not install in Win 98se. Said that it expected a newer version of windows.

Would likely have given it a better rating if I had been able to install in Win98. The compatibility list claims I should be able to.
