- Archive updater
- Archive recompression, using brute force or an algorithm-picking approach for improving a Zip archive’s compression.
- Flat view / Tree view toggle
- Multi-document
- Encryption
- Zip compression formats supported: Reduce, Shrink, Implode, Deflate, Deflate64, BZip2, LZMA
- Portable (no installation needed, no DLL); can operate with a config file instead of the registry (stealth mode)
- Installable if desired (application is its own installer)
- Free, open-source
The AZip executable is standalone, holds in 3 MB and doesn’t require an installation procedure.
However, you can install AZip: the executable is its own installer and will offer to install itself.
“Under the hood” features:
- AZip is from A to Z programmed in Ada
- Uses the highly portable Zip-Ada library - all in Ada.
- (regarding Windows “skin”) Uses the GWindows library - all in Ada.
Enjoy!
