WinZip makes it easy for Windows users to work with
archives. WinZip features an intuitive point-and-click drag-and-drop
interface for viewing, running, extracting, adding, deleting, and
testing files in archives with a standard Windows interface.
Zip files are "archives" used for distributing and storing files.
Zip files contain one or more files.
Usually the files "archived" in a Zip are compressed to save space.
Zip files make it easy to group files and make transporting and copying these files faster.
Winzip evaluation versions are fully functional.

8.1 SR-1
|
Changes:
WinZip 8.1 Service Release 1 (SR-1) includes a change to the original release of WinZip 8.1 . The change addresses a vulnerability that is already properly handled, as of WinZip 8.0, for Zip files; WinZip 8.1 SR-1 addresses it for the other archive types supported by WinZip, such as TAR and CAB.
WinZip will now warn you if you attempt to open any archive that uses a parent folder (that is, "..") specification for any of the files that it contains. The reason for the warning is that extraction from such an archive could allow files to be extracted to locations outside of the folder tree that you have specified for the extraction. A malicious individual who created such an archive and convinced you to extract its contents could exploit this to overwrite important files elsewhere on your system.

| 8.1 beta 2 |
Changes:
- In Beta 1, WinZip would sometimes misidentify a split Zip file
that had been copied to diskettes as a spanned Zip file. The program
logic used to determine whether a multi-disk Zip file is split or spanned
has been improved, and this should no longer be a problem
- Support for filenames containing multi-byte character set (MBCS)
characters used with Asian languages such as Japanese, Chinese, and
Korean has been improved
- The dialog that displays the archive types with which WinZip
can be associated has been enlarged so that all file types can be
seen without scrolling
- In WinZip's setup wizard, the dialog in which the installation
folder is chosen now has a Browse button
- Under Windows 98, logging off and then back on again would
result in the Quick Pick taskbar tray icon not restarting.
This has been corrected
- During multi-file extracts, warning dialogs in some cases were
hidden behind the active program's window, but there was no taskbar
button allowing the user to return to WinZip. This has been corrected
- Miscellaneous other minor fixes, enhancements, and improvements
to the program help
