But Winzip is NOT freeware.

That's correct but not an answer on my question.

IZArc does this right out of the box.

7Zip is ok, i just don't like its interface.

Stuffit and StuffitExpander have been the de facto standard for years
now. Both are free and come packaged in the full Stuffit download from
www.stuffit.com (formerly www.aladdiinsys.com, now www.allume.com due
to legal dispute of the "aladdin" name)

If they are free why did the last version I tried shut down after
thirty days and refuse to operate unless I registered it.

StuffIt Expander is bundled with StuffIt. StuffIt is Trialware. Expander should continue working
indefinately.

Program: StuffIt Expander (was Aladdin's StuffIt Expander)
Author: Allume Systems (was Aladdin Systems)
Ware: (Registerware)

Expander is FREE. However, you are downloading a TRIAL version of StuffIt which includes Expander.
You have 15 days to use the StuffIt software without being asked to register. To own StuffIt
Standard and qualify for free Technical Support you will need to purchase a registration number.

Rich, here's a roundup of a bunch of good freeware WinZIP alternatives:

It really depends on what your needs are. By "decent" do you mean "the
whole kitchen-sink powerful" or "super fast and easy ZIP/UnZIP". For
extreme power and features I would go with "7-ZIP" and for extreme
simplicity and ease, "JustZIPit". (But then I'm a bit biased)

Yes. You'll find it in Tools>Options>Plugins>7zip>Options. IZArc has
it as well, if I remember correctly. In fact, most of them do.

IZArc handles ISO and IMG archives. That's really handy.
