Peazip Pwns
Well, the rule of 7zip is finally over. At least, in the best program for making archives or that sort of thing.
7zip started off as an archiving method, and for the most part has stayed that way. This is, in a way, the reason for the program, ‘Peazip’. Peazip does many more things that 7zip was originally built for, from opening and archiving the main types of archive used today (.iso included) to splitting, exploring, and even doing secure file deletion. It even has an inbuilt file browser, useful for selecting large numbers of files, which would ordinarily be difficult to do by hand.
The many features that Peazip provides over 7z means that it is now my preference in terms of app usage. Go download it from sourceforge!(opens new window)

BTW i just found that the 7zip used in peazip is of an older version, so doesnt compress QUITE as well as the new version :S. And yes. When using winrar, there are no parties, as far as i’m concerned.

As for as I can see, it does.
Latest PeaZip (2.1) uses 7z 4.58, and latest 7-Zip packages released on SourceForge are in fact 4.57 (stable) and 4.58 (beta).
7z 4.59 is still in alpha and was not made available by 7-Zip team to mainstream download, so I think it’s good it’s not included in PeaZip.
