Don’t really understand how a ZIP program can distinguish itself. Windows does ZIP’s directly now. The file manager I recommended, EF Commander, does them. I also use WinRAR for generating RAR’s and occasionally use it to open a ZIP. They all get the files out; they all put files in. Other than speed or compression ratio (which is immaterial on all but enormous files), what’s better about one than another?
It handles archive formats that Windows can't understand. Otherwise, it's small, fast and fairly usable compared to the others.
