Tool for Uncompressing Archives

While personally I am perfectly happy using the command line tools, my wife would probably take my head off if I mention to her that you need to type something in the command line.  In fact her first response would be… what is a command line? 

So to make uncompressing of archives easier I found the program untar that uncompresses the archives, while using a graphical interface. 

Untar is able to uncompress files in .7z, .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar.z, .z, .gz, .svgz .Z, .tar.Z, .taz, .tar.bz, .tar.bz2, .tbz, .tbz2, .bz, .bz2, .rar, and .zip formats.

Compression to the Max on Windows

Compression has been around for ages, and the standard for windows has been defined using WinZip. That is until now!

Some time ago the new compression format 7-zip was released, giving better compression, and better security. I have started using 7-Zip as my compression engine for some time, and the compression and performance increases are worth it.

If you have a multi-core system, 7-zip for windows will utilize both of the CPU’s during compression. Overall this definitely is a great replacement for WinZip.

You can obtain 7-Zip from here:   7-Zip
