WinZip was created in the early 1990s as a shareware GUI front-end for PKZIP. Sometime around 1996 the creators of WinZip incorporated compression code from the Info-ZIP project, thus eliminating the need for the PKZIP executable to be present.

Features
WinZip is a compression program for Microsoft Windows. You use it for .zip files, or to make them. - Creation, addition, extraction from ZIP archives.
- Configurable Microsoft Windows Shell integration.
- 128- and 256-bit key AES encryption.[3] This has replaced the less secure PKZIP 2.0 encryption method used in earlier versions. The implementation, using Brian Gladman's code, was FIPS-197 certified, on March 27, 2003.[4]
Version 9 also implemented a 64-bit version of the PKZIP file format, eliminating both the maximum limit of 65,535 members for single archive and the 4-gibibyte size limit on either the archive and each member file. - Support of the bzip2 and the PPMd compression algorithms, allowing smaller archives at the cost of a potential increase in compression and extraction times (especially when using PPMd).
- Decompression of .bz2 and .rar files, and special algorithm for audio files (based on WavPack).
- Support for ARC, ARJ, LHA archives if suitable external programs are installed.
- Direct write of ZIP archives to CD/DVD
- Automation of backup jobs
- Integrated FTP upload
- Email ZIP archives
- WinZip does not support Unicode characters in filenames.[5] [6] Attempting to add these files to an archive results in the error message "Warning: Could not open for reading: ..."

History The ZIP file archive format (PKZIP) was originally invented for MS-DOS in 1989 by Phil Katz and his company PKWare.[7] Microsofts disk operating system, MS-DOS, was Microsofts implementation of DOS, which was the first popular operating system for the IBM PC, and until recently, was widely used on the PC compatible platform. ...

Because PKWare did not protect the name by trademark and algorithm of the process by patent, and was slow to realize that the Windows operating systems would eventually dominate the OS market, WinZip Computing Inc. eventually seized the opportunity and released the WinZip application for Microsoft Windows.
