StubbieMan is a program which makes self-extracting archive files (SFX files). A SFX allows you to distribute zip files without the recipient needing to use an unzipping program - they just run your SFX. An SFX also gives you more control over how and to where the files in the archive are extracted. Here are the things which StubbieMan SFX can do which most of the others cannot: No need to create a zip file first - StubbieMan automatically compresses the files you select as it makes the SFX. Display a customised message to the user before any files are extracted. Optionally prompt the user for a folder to unpack the archived files into. Specify a default folder to unpack the archived files into. Use constants for the unpack folder such as the user's TEMP folder, the user's Windows/WinNT folder or the user's Windows System folder. Run any number of commands either before or after (or both!) the files in the archive have been extracted. Get the SFX program to launch these commands one at a time or concurrently. Show a customised success message at the end of the process. Optionally clean up all files and folders created by the SFX. For example, to distribute an AVI movie file in an SFX you get the SFX to unzip it, launch a process to display it to the user (using the option which forces the SFX to wait till the process displaying the AVI has finished) and then have the SFX automatically delete the unzipped AVI file as the final step in the SFX program's execution. The 'stub' program used by StubbieMan is just 48K .

Muzip is an free, open source archiver which supports many formats: Zip, Tar, GZip, UUE...Here are the main features of Muzip: All formats are available for reading and writing: you can uncompress but create your own archives too in Zip, Tar, GZip and UUE formats! Muzip displays the directories tree as the Explorer, whereas WinZip only has a simple list; The files and directories can be manipulated using various functions: you can add, delete, copy, move, rename, and create sub-directories...; An exclusive feature: it is possible to build the archive manually and not at each modification. This is very useful when you manipulate very big archives: with other compressors, each time you delete a single file, the whole archive is regenerated, which takes a lot of time. With the manual rebuild, you can make all modifications you want, and apply them at once. Muzip can even automatically switch to manual rebuild when the archive has a big size!; Creation of very small self-extracting archives: with less than 16 Kb in addition of the Zip archive size, any Windows user can uncompress your archive without specific software; Muzip has a complete support of drag and drop: compress, move or copy the files of an archive with a single drag and drop; Muzip is reachable in the Explorer context menu: you can compress files and folders and uncompress archives without needing to launch Muzip.

In the main window of ZippHO are listed file name, file size and date/time of all files included in the open archive. It is possible to sort this list for any column.Double clicking on any file listed in the main window of ZippHO, you have the same effect that you may obtain in File Manager or Windows Explorer: the files are extracted from the archive and, if it is a executable, it will be run, otherwise it will be opened from the application associated to it (as an example, NotePad for TXT files), being based on the associations recorded in Windows. If the file is not associated to any programs, you can try to see it with the internal viewer of ZippHO.

QuickZip is a freeware file archiver, which handles .zip files. Unlike the conventional file archivers, it does not have any installer program that copies files to your system directory, or modifies the registry. QuickZip comes in a simple, self-extracting package that extracts files to the folder _you_ specify, and does not go beyond that. This is particularly useful, if you do not have permissions to create files in the system directory, or modify the registry, such as offices, or other networks. In such cases, you may need to unzip files, but cannot install any program. QuickZip will help you in such situations.
Features:
1. Displays all files in explorer like interface, with folders
2. Quickly add/extract files from archives and create new archives
3. Create self extracting zip archives, with small overhead
4. All this comes under 600 KB!
