7zip tool

Attaching files into one archive(Zipped) is very useful as we can make multiple files into one file and compress them. Zipping files is crying needed when we need to transfer mini files or send them via mail or upload them on a P2P file sharing site. There are many archiving tools to manage zipped files such as  *.rar, *.zip, *.jar, *.exe, *.tar etc.




Out of different types of zipping and compressing tools, my first choose is 7Zip.
7-zip is an open source file archiver designed for windows. It’s unofficial command line version is also available for Linux. 7-zip is actively developed by Igor Pavlov. It was the winner of sourceforge.net 2007 community choice awards for ‘technical design’ and for ‘best project.
