    hello…

    it does come with the zip protocol built in, though, which i actually much prefer to stuffit – stuffit was great 10 years ago, but the industry has really settled on zip – now i can share those archives easily between all my platforms and not have to worry about proprietary formats…

    just my $.02… 🙂

    Hi Curtis,

    Is there good software for the mac the zips files?
    I don’t zip or stuff things too much, but last couple times I’ve tried, I don’t get smaller files, just zipped?
    Is there a trick to compressing them smaller.

    Thanks,

    Do you have Tiger? Just option-click on a file or folder and select the “Archive” option. That makes a zip file of that item.

    It should be smaller if it CAN be smaller. Things like JPGs and video files usually don’t get much smaller because they’re already compressed pretty efficiently. Other types of files might compress much more by zipping. You just have to try and see what you get.
