Winzip 10 is no longer free. Can anyone recommend a simple/reliable unzip
utility that is also freeware?

Thank you

7-Zip - http://www.snapfiles.com/get/7zip.html

7Zip is an open-source file archiver, that offers a the highest compression
ratio, using the new f 7z format, which delivers compression results that
are usually 30-50% better than standard ZIP. We tested it with a server log
file, which compressed with ZIP had a file size of 18 mb and using 7-Zip
was reduced to 8 mb (results may vary, depending on file type). In
addition, 7Zip also supports 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR,
CPIO, RPM and DEB formats, so it can be used with all popular archive files
as well. The program offers a basic file explorer interface and also
integrates into the Windows right-click menu. It can be associated with any
of the supported formats and also offers commandline support. Interface and
additional features are fairly basic, but the compression ratio is
outstanding.

WinZip has never been 'free'.
Not in my recollection.
Trial version.. sure. Free - nope.

Search using Google!

(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

Windows XP has many of the features built into it that MOST users of WinZip
use it for (the non-advanced ones.)

Just do a google search for "Freeware Zip Utility".
