WinZip 11.0 Betters Compression
Techtree News Staff, Nov 17, 2006 1216 hrs ISTWinZip Computing, a Corel company, has announced the official release of the latest version of WinZip, "WinZip 11.0".
WinZip Computing, a Corel company, has announced the official release of the latest version of WinZip, "WinZip 11.0".
WinZip, a powerful and easy-to-use compression utility, quickly zips and unzips files to conserve disk space and reduce email transmission time. It is the most popular compression utility used world-wide.
The new version WinZip 11.0, available in two sections, Standard or Pro, highlights practical image handling through thumbnails, and has a new internal image viewer, more efficient compression, enhanced data backup functionality, and support for RAR and BZ2 files.
WinZip 11.0 Standard is a standard version as the name suggests, while the Pro is a more advanced and enhanced version, which can be of much use to the business segment.
Improving on image management, the WinZip's Explorer-style view now allows users to view image thumbnails without extracting the images from the Zip file.
For those using WinZip 11.0 Pro, the full-size image can be viewed in its new internal image viewer, thus enabling browsing through multiple images within WinZip itself, instead of a separate application for each individual image.
Moreover, WinZip 11.0 Pro includes practical and powerful enhancements to the WinZip Job Wizard, which is regularly used to take back-up of data sets, archiving important documents, or distributing information.
Users can now configure it to email a status confirmation and/or the resulting Zip file automatically after completion. It also includes a new browsing feature that helps find a specific folder on an FTP server, and select custom jobs directly from the Job Wizard and Quick Pick tray bar menus.
Another important addition to the software is the new "best compression" feature, where users have to only select the feature and let WinZip decide what compression method to use.
Some other enhancements in WinZip 11.0 include the ability to open BZ2 and RAR files, and the addition of a special lossless compression method that compresses WAV music files more efficiently, without compromising on the sound quality.
WinZip 11.0 Standard and Pro are available for order on the company Web site at a price of approximately $29.95 (Rs 1,340) and around $49.95 (Rs 2,240) respectively.
