    Iv been using Winzip on my mac up until now but it's asking me to pay for it now and I don't really want to, anyone got opinions on the best free program?

    I didn't even know there was a WinZip for Mac. Yuck.

    Get The Unarchiver. It opens everything. It's one of those must have Mac apps.

    Stuffit Deluxe is also a very useful progam!

    I didn't think StuffIt was still around. It must be pretty antiquated at this stage. I haven't really used it since OS 9.

    Well I've had it on the laptop the last year or two and found it quite good, I'm not sure if there's newer versions or updates available anymore. I have the Unarchiver on it too just to make sure I'm completely covered!
