PhilMassey Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Windows has had the capability to unzip files for some time now. 7zip used to be my go to zip utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Windows has directly supported .zip files since Windows XP. No need to buy anything unless you need some advanced features (such as .rar files). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have NEVER seen anyone use anything but .zip fr LOR files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
