WinZip is a popular open-source software compression tool for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and other operating systems. Since its launch in 1993, WinZip has been a mainstay of file archivers. It works by compressing files to a ZIP archive without requiring the user to know anything about file formats or compression algorithms. However, on June 10th 2016, the company announced that it would make the program open-source under GPLv2 Free Version on July 1st 2016. The program was first released by a company called WinZip which was owned by Symantec before Symantec had the rights to the program, and had some problems with software patents. So in order to avoid legal issues, WinZip changed its name from WinZip Inc. to "WinZIP Inc." and then again to "Creative Technology Corporation" on February 23, 2004. In 2008, Creative Technology Corp. was acquired by Creative Software. In 2010 it was renamed again to "Creative Technology Ltd." On August 14 of that year, Creative Technology was acquired by Avanquest whose name is currently listed on the main page of the WinZIP website. Notable changes include the introduction of the ZIP extension (ZIPware) and support for Mac OS X. WinZip/ZIPware is used by many modern operating systems and also enables large archives to be created at higher speeds. The program's main feature is its ability to create self extracting archive (ZIP). If the file to be compressed has a ZIP extension then WinZip will automatically create a .zip file that contains all of the files in the original folder, along with copies of any other files in subfolders. Its compression algorithm was written by Trond Holme who worked at Symatec Software. It was later rewritten by Chris Roberts and improved in version 9 which became known as "ZIP 64". WinZip is able to compress files, directories or volumes. The default program setting is 7z compression. The program allows the user to select the files or folders to be compressed by default, what compression algorithm should be used, allow/prevent creation of self-extracting archives (SFX) and the compression level. When selecting files for use as a target, WinZip creates a folder called "temp" with those selected files placed in it. WinZip renames the "temp" folder to use as a target and sets its locked attribute so that it will not be deleted if it is deleted from the file system. The "temp" folder is placed in the same file path as the main folder to be compressed. WinZip supports a range of algorithms that can be used for compression. These include RAR, ZIP, GZip, BZip2/BZip1, Tar, JAR and TAR. The program can also display icons for each file type before it opens the file. cfa1e77820
