Un&Zipping files


Everyone knows Winzip and it is sure that it works pretty well on a PC. The downside is that you have to buy it(even if some very competitive alternatives can be found freely on the net i.e opensource). On your new Mac you don't have to bother: some one has already done the job for you:

  • You can already open & uncompress zipped files OOTB (out of the box=without installing anything else) by double clicking on them.
  • You can create zip files by RIGHT-CLICKING on a file/folder and selecting "Create Archive"(Tiger) or "Compress item"(Leopard).

pretty cool, uh ?
