Oh, and you can create self-extracting file too (even though I don't know if you can unpack them on other platforms, never tried, but I should bet you can do it)
- omgtehlion 13y agoPlus, WinRAR can extract these just fine.
- kyrias 13y agoIt's silly to recommend a program when complaining about a format. But yes it would be better if they used zip, which also happens to be integrated in Windows Explorer.
- manojlds 13y ago.7z is a format too, and 7-zip supports that and other common formats like zip and rar.
- Ecio78 13y agoafaik the plain .zip doesn't support multi-part archives and that's what they needed due to the file size. by citing 7-zip (site) I was of course suggesting the .7z file format that is opensource and there are softwares and libraries freely available.
