WinZip Announces WinZip 11.2

Techtree News Staff, Apr 30, 2008 1740 hrs IST

Along with WinZip 11.2, the company has also released WinZip 11.2 Pro with some new features including data backup with enhanced job wizard, full size image view, and send to FTP or CD/DVD.

WinZip Computing, a Corel company, has announced availability of WinZip 11.2, an updated version of its file compression software.

WinZip 11.2 integrates the Zip format's newly-added Unicode support, promising accurate rendering of international characters in file names when using the same Zip file on computers with different code pages; a feature that was missing in earlier versions. With the new version, users can create and share Zip files with confidence that international characters will appear correctly regardless of code page of the recipient's PC.

In addition to Unicode support, WinZip 11.2 adds built-in support for the LHA compression standard popular in Japan; this allows users to create, open, and extract LHA archives (.LHA), eliminating the need for third-party LHA software. WinZip 11.2 comes with Windows Vista Certification, offering Vista-style tool bars and program icons, a Vista Explorer-style user interface, and support for 64-bit Windows Vista and XP as well as 32-bit Windows Vista, XP, and 2000. Other features of WinZip 11.2 include: automated compression method selection; viewing thumbnails within WinZip without extracting files or launching a separate application; and zipping and sending email directly from the File menu using the "Send To" option.

Along with WinZip 11.2, the company has also released WinZip 11.2 Pro with some new features including data backup with enhanced job wizard, full size image view, and send to FTP or CD/DVD. With enhanced job wizard, users can create zip "jobs" that identify the what, where, when, and how of virtually any data backup. Users can program job wizard to FTP, burn to disk, or email the resulting Zip file automatically as part of the data backup procedure. Users can also view full-size images with the internal image viewer without having to extract the image from the Zip file.

WinZip 11.2 is available online for $29.95, and WinZip 11.2 Pro for $49.95. Registered users of WinZip 11.0 and 11.1 can get the new version as free update, while users of WinZip 10 or earlier will be charged 50 percent off of the new license price for the upgrade.
