WinZip 10.0 continues to add improved compression technology that creates even smaller Zip files. It also offers users a new Explorer-style view, making it easier to manage large, multi-folder Zip files. Other enhancements include the ability to create split (multi-volume) Zip files during compression, automatic update checking, and support for the Windows XP SP2 Attachment Manager, which helps users protect their computers by warning them of files that might be dangerous to open.
WinZip 10.0 Pro includes the WinZip Job Wizard, a powerful new tool that offers predefined data backup jobs and allows users to create Zip "jobs" that automate almost any repetitive zipping task, including custom-made daily data backups, periodic reporting, and off-site storage. Users can also move valuable data off site by using the included FTP functionality.
WinZip 10.0 Pro also allows users to create Zip files directly on CDs and DVDs. This eliminates the need to zip to a hard drive and then transfer the files to CD or DVD. Large Zip files will automatically span multiple CDs/DVDs, as necessary.
