ALZip: One Reason Why it is Better

Compression utility, a software that allow you to bundle multiple files together and compress the resultant file into a smaller size than the combined size of the original files. Great for transferring files between devices and for sending them across networks.

So I started off with using one of the original file archiver, Winzip. Then I opted for WinRar due to its light weight and have been using it ever since....until yesterday!

You see I was having this problem of opening an archive that hold files with Chinese characters as its file names. Windows nor the compression program itself can recognise the file name and hence, there was no way I could extract the needed files.

But then comes, AlZip, which saved the archive!!!! : ) ALZip allows you to rename the files inside the archive. So I was able to rename the badly named files and I was able to extract the files out afterwards! Although it takes up more space than WinRar, but it has a more modern look to the application including some 'cute' looking icons.

So if you are experiencing similar problems as me, I would recommend you to try to use ALZip to resolve your problems (and I have actually uninstalled WinRar off my computer now!) Enjoy!!! : P
