you can get winzip free, trial version, every time it expires i uninstall it and download it again. go to the winzip website or download.com.

That is sorta like cheating... i like it. Thanks.

pretty sure winrar is free and not cheating. it also unzips .rar files.

My computer has a built in unzip, do not all versions of windows have that?

Winrar isn't free- it's nagware. Every time you use it, it will tell you you should register it. You close the nag screen and everything is fine.

i downloaded winrar and it told me i had a 30 day trial, i had it longer then that and it still worked...free.

winRAR is great for sure!

With WinRAR if you use it from the context menu it never nags you. If you open it directly, it nags.

For a true freeware solution, 7zip is the best.

Thanks guys. i went with 7zip. Worked great right off the press. Then i spent the next few hours uploading wordpress to my server twice, using, of course, the famous 5 minute install method. Luckily, i had all the sharp objects removed from my trailer, again. Grazie.

Tell me about it. I started to just make fake blogs with repeat regions in Dreamweaver cause I was so sick of Wordpress.

I had a hell of a time uploading a forum for someone too. FTPing doesn't like me, it seems.
