Is there a GPL or otherwise free zipping/unzipping program?

$29 per station for winzip is too much, and for basic zipping/unzipping I don't want to pay for all the machines.

if it is for win2k i have a zip file driver that makes the zip files act as folders. Also has an unzip wizard. I basically handle zip files in the same manor as winme an xp do.

Try this one (LGPL):

Great sugestions, I'll check out the LGPL version first. I am huge open sopurce advocates for utilitarian type apps.

 

if anyone is interested, filzip is one I found in my travels. it even suports self extracting archives for free too. It's free in all respects, but no source code. Unlimited use license on any number of pc's, free to copy etc. if you wanna chgeck it out

The freeware zip utility I have installed at work is ZipCentral 4.01

 

The homepage seems to be down at the moment but do a search on google for the above and you will find lots of places for download.
