JustZIPit is a tiny freeware ZIP program (a free WinZIP alternative) which
simplifies ZIP compression to the bare bone! Discarding all clunky
interfaces, JustZIPit ZIPs with just one click from the context menu. No more
interface nonsense, JustZIPit and go! Hey, WinZIP is a great program - with
over 100 pages of in the user manual, it provides both function and
entertainment. But if you just want to ZIP and unZIP, you might want to try
our free WinZIP alternative "JustZIPit"!

But don't be fooled by it's simplicity and size -- this is a powerful ZIP
program. Have you heard WinZIP bragging about it's "ZIP-to-Email" feature?
Well, JustZIPit does that too. And how about WinZIP's hot new "ZIP-64"
support? JustZIPit does it even better! JustZIPit is blazingly fast and can
burn through the most massive (multiple-Gigabyte) compression tasks -- which
makes JustZIPit the tool of choice for large jobs such as backing up CDs and
DVD!

Have you noticed lately that compression software is getting more and more
complex with an ever-increasing number of compression formats supported? In
fact, too many features often confuses core functionality. What do most
people really want with a ZIP program? Surprisingly, they want to ZIP and
unZIP. Go figure! That's all that JustZIPit does and in the easiest way
possible! Oh and, as always, free is good too!

Well, that pretty much sums up JustZIPit -- a powerful, easy-to-use, free
WinZIP alternative!

And JustZIPit is really free! -- not just a "free download" -- that means no
spyware, no adware, no intrusive promotions etc. This is safe software!
JustZIPit installs no "bundled" software, no VB libraries and does not
install or register any DLLs. It is just one single, self-installing file
which you can share by just copying the file. Lightweight, easy to install,
easy to delete. No DLL hell and no conflicts with other software! Simple and
useful the way software should be!"

You're very welcome Dan. There's some great software links/info posted in
this group by a lot of people. Still one of the most useful Usenet
groups around.

Is this a marketing-speak way of saying that it only does ZIP compression?

I have a problem with this freeware. Every time I try to do anything with it I just get redirected to the download site and asked to download the software again.

Not only that but it won't uninstall properly and has taken over all zip functions on my machine - I have to override it every time I want to use the standard compression software, and it has replaced the usual options in the "right click" drop-down menu.

I wouldn't mind that so much if it ever actually worked to compress or unzip files, but no, here we go back to the download site to be told how brilliant it is again!
