BitZipper 2009
BitZipper is a Windows utility that lets you open Zip files, Rar files, 7-zip files and other archives with ease. New BitZipper 2009 now supports even more file types, so it can open every kind of compressed or encoded file you are ever likely to encounterr. It can also create files in many of these formats, too. BitZipper is truly the Swiss Army Knife of archive managers!

BitZipper is easy to use. If you're a novice who just needs to open a file you downloaded, there's a wizard that will walk you through the process. The wizard helps you to open an archive, create new zip files, or back up your files to a compressed archive.
For more experienced users, BitZipper's "classic" user interface gives you all the power you need. It lets you open or create compressed archives, and add, extract or remove files, using the menu or toolbar, or by drag and drop.
BitZipper has many powerful and unique features for the power user. It allows you to install software directly from a compressed archive without first extracting the contents to a folder. It can split archives into multiple volumes that will fit onto floppy disks or other media. It can convert archives directly from one format to another.
New BitZipper 2009 supports even more archive types than before, so you will surely not need any other archive manager to extract the contents of any package you download. Want to access the contents of an .ISO CD/DVD image without burning it to CD or DVD? BitZipper can do it. It can open Windows and Mac OS disk images, too.
Want to extract an embedded image or document from a Microsoft Office .doc, .xls or .ppt file? Yes, BitZipper can do this as well.
Want to see what's inside an installable package without installing it? BitZipper can open Microsoft Installer (.msi) and Nullsoft Installer (.exe) files. It can even open Linux .rpm and .deb packages - probably the only Windows archive manager that can do this.
BitZipper can create archives in several popular formats. It can evem create self extracting archives - .exe files that can extract their contents on another Windows computer without the aid of any archive manager.

BitZipper 2009 is also a backup application. You define a backup set by specifying which files you want to include or exclude, and save it. To protect your data, backups can be encrypted (BitZipper can use uncrackable 256-bit AES encryption.) You can then back up those files any time you want, by selecting that backup set. BitZipper will even create an icon right on your desktop to perform a one-click backup of your data.
Tech-Pro.net recommends BitZipper because it is easy to use, well supported and regularly updated, and supports just about every archive and image format you're likely to encounter. You'll use this product every day not just to open Zip and other archive files downloaded from the Internet, but also to back up, archive and protect the valuable files on your computer.
