This is the first piece of shareware I've registered. I use this program daily and I love it. Great compression and works with many file types, including zip, rar, ace, gz, tar, etc etc. Wonderful :)

RAR is much better than ZIP.
It has Self Extraction and WinRAR can open any other format - fastest and very easy.

winace is bloated and slow.. winrar loads almost instantly, does everything(except ace2.0) i want, and.. i just love it! i hate it when i have to use winace.

There is nothing that this program does that winACE doesn't do better. winACE does zip, rar,tar.gz, etc. Also, ace archives generally have quit a bit better compression ratios that rar and WAY better than zip.

You can't beat this at quality, compression, and features! A MUST HAVE!!! Throws WinZip, Power Archiver out the window! But still needs some features that WinAce has...

I like it alot better then WinZip. Smaller download better interface and also handles alot more file extensions.

I agree, I've been using WinRAR for a quite some time and it rocks! Slower than pkzip but that's ok since the compression ratio is way better. Nice to see more people using it.

Self Extraction feature was better than Winzip's or PKZip's when I last checked it out. Infact, if you plan to distribute anything to be extracted under the DOS environment, this is great for DOS Self Extractors too!
