Main tools

This classic program allows you to work with all popular archive types. It is easy to view the contents of a ZIP, ISO, TAR, LZH or RAR package by dragging and dropping the file into the main window. The target directory for the extracted items is customizable. Moreover, there is an option to immediately burn unpacked files to an optical disc. You can apply digital signatures to business documents and encrypt the package for preventing unauthorized access.
