So far, the better options were software like 7Zip and Izarc. However, I’ve recently discovered a fairly new utility that promises to be as good or better than the ones mentioned above.</p><p><a
href="http://www.tugzip.com/">TUGZip</a> is a freeware archiving utility for Windows. It can open common formats like zip, rar, 7zip, etc. as well as obscure ones like ace, lib, tbz, etc. In addition, it supports disc images including the nero format nrg. The program also has a multi-extract option to extract multiple archives at once.</p><p><span
id="more-2946"></span></p><p>On the writing side, it can create archives in most of the common formats, which is more than enough for anyone. Users have the option of using any one of 6 different encryption formats to create their archives. It can also create self-extracting archives.</p><p>TUGZip is pretty easy to use. It has a simple, easy to understand interface, with good navigation. The program is also capable of updating automatically using the built-in ‘web update’ function.</p><p>If you’re looking for a good archiving utility for your needs, I’d recommend TUGZip. If  you find other programs too complicated to use, do give this software a try. I bet you won’t be disappointed. Oh , and it would also be great if you could clue me in about which program is your favorite file archiver.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2008/01/21/use-tugzip-to-view-archived-files/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>11</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>10 Freeware Recommendations 2</title><link>http://www.ghacks.net/2007/09/03/10-freeware-recommendations-2/</link> <comments>http://www.ghacks.net/2007/09/03/10-freeware-recommendations-2/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 03 Sep 2007 07:15:32 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Martin Brinkmann</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Operating Systems]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Windows]]></category> <category><![CDATA[freeware recommendations]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Software]]></category> <category><![CDATA[windows-xp]]></category> <guid
