I've been using winzip "evaluation version" and want to replace it with
a freeware program. What's your favorite?

In my experience, nothing is as reliable and solid as WinRAR (which is
shareware), so that's what I generally use; but 7-Zip is coming along. IZArc
has been recommended to me before, but I had some troubles with it when I
tried it. YYMV.

The best is 7-zip. Try it from here:

Tugzip. It has a very good shell integration and it extracted some zips
(....64 or so) that the latest version of Winrar choked on.

I've also liked 7-zip-so it might be good to try it out.

I like Alzip
http://www.altools.net/Default.aspx?tabid=47
FREE for home users, ALZip is the easiest to use, most powerful, and
by far the cutest compression utility available.
NEW in ALZip:
+ 4 more file formats = 35 (Added ISO, BIN, LCD, BH [2]) (v5.5)
+ Command Line functionality for scripting (v5.5)
Try ALZip and see for yourself:
* No Time Limits
* 100% Fully Functional
* 35 archive and compression file formats
* Open CD burning file formats: ISO and BIN
* Open virtual CD files: LCD
* Password retrieval
* Create SFX (EXE) file for FREE
* Create spanned archives over 2600 volumes
* Unlimited archive size with ALZ

Second that. Tugzip has been able to sort out some pretty messed up rar
archives for me. I can't decide if I like 7-Zip or Tugzip the best.

Now, if one or the other would include .CAB, .IMG, and .ISO capabilities
like WinRAR.

IZArc

or change the way you manage/archive files with Free Commander (zip utility
is integrated)
http://www.freecommander.com/index_en.htm
I suggest a combination of both ;-)

It seems quite slick and well-behaved. The publisher's behavior is
pretty odd -- I can't find any documentation; their web site yanks over
to a freeware page before I can read it.
I haven't tried zipping anything yet. However, as far as unzipping
things like a downloaded freeware program, it goes in a flash. It's
civilized, too: it creates a subdirectory off the directory you're
unzipping from, and then dumps the unzipped files into that
subdirectory. So, it's perfectly clear -- I've certainly tried routines
that comingle the files in the same directory as the zip file, and that
directory may already contain a thousand files with names like
"jZeOii~x" and "82634283".
