6) Looking for a Utility to Read or Create Compressed Files?

November 1st, 2009 · 3 Comments

peazipLook no more. Check out PeaZip at…

http://peazip.sourceforge.net/

It’s open source . . . and free as can be… and lets you create and unwrap files in formats with lots of initials, including 7Z, ARC, BZ2, GZ, PAQ/ZPAQ, PEA, QUAD/BALZ, TAR, UPX, ZIP, ACE, ARJ, CAB, DMG, ISO, LHA, RAR, UDF and about 80 others. The installer doesn’t put any malware on your system, by the way. (Thanks to Greg, our I.T. guy at Team Expansion, for this good referral!)

    Thanks so much for this truly HELPFUL utility.
    Hope to see MORE of such good stuff :)

    BTW is there a dBase3 compatible software that will run well in WIN XP and/or WIN 7?

    Would love to hear from Greg… directly or via this site.

    rwk,

    Wow! I can’t say that I do anything with dBase3 any more. When you say “run”, what are you looking for? An editor, a viewer, any dBase3 program?

    Doing a quick search, I came across:
    http://www.supershareware.com/software/dbase-3-editor.html

    However, it doesn’t look like most of them like anything beyond XP. Another search that might be worth chasing down is xBase. It seems that dBase was based on open software and returned to open software under the guise of xBase. (See the dBase Wiki page for more info.)

    A search of xBase on sourceforge.net had a hit result of 42.

    I hope that I have given you some ideas about where to go with this.

    Thanks,

    Greg Harris
