WinZip Computing of Mansfield, Conn., has improved the effectiveness of its file distribution system with the release of WinZip Self-Extractor 3.0.
This latest version of WinZip Self-Extractor supports the same improved compression technology and advanced encryption (AES with 128- and 256-bit keys) found in WinZip 10.0 and WinZip 10.0 Pro. This allows users to create self-extracting Zip files that are smaller and offers the ability to distribute encrypted information. WinZip Computing broadens the feature set of WinZip Self-Extractor further by adding support for enhanced deflate compression and high-resolution (XP-style) icons.
Users can run a self-extracting Zip file the same way they run any other program: double click on the .exe file. This makes self-extracting Zip files ideal for electronic file distribution.
