About

Nearly all computer users come across file archives in different formats, e.g. the widespread ZIP format. Compressed files are easy to store and share. Ashampoo ZIP Free bundles essential features like reading and writing of archives in a single free application. Ashampoo ZIP Free supports comfort features such as jump lists and the display of progress on taskbar icons for Windows 7 and Windows 8. The user interface employs the Windows 8 tile-based design with quick access to all essential features. And just like in Windows 8, tiles can be rearranged for personalization. Ashampoo ZIP Free compresses and decompresses all common formats via a simple mouse click thanks to its Windows Explorer integration. Create, convert and repair archives fast, easy, and free of charge. Its beautiful graphical interface is very intuitive, and easy to use. Powerful integration with Windows Explorer Shell, both 32bit and 64bit.

About

GNU Gzip is a popular data compression program originally written by Jean-loup Gailly for the GNU project. Mark Adler wrote the decompression part. We developed this program as a replacement for compress because of the Unisys and IBM patents covering the LZW algorithm used by compress. These patents made it impossible for us to use compress, and we needed a replacement. The superior compression ratio of gzip is just a bonus. Stable source releases are available on the main GNU download server (HTTPS, HTTP, FTP) and its mirrors; please use a mirror if possible. gzip reduces the size of the named files using Lempel-Ziv coding (LZ77). Whenever possible, each file is replaced by one with the extension ‘.gz’, while keeping the same ownership modes, access, and modification times. (The default extension is ‘z’ for MSDOS, OS/2 FAT, and Atari.) If no files are specified, the standard input is compressed to the standard output.
