These programs will help you to unzip files that you have downloaded off the internet.
Because some files
are fairly large they have to be compressed (reduced in size) before they
are placed onto the internet. This saves download times and also saves space
on the server and on your computer while you are not using them.
WINZIP
WinZip brings the convenience
of Windows to the use of Zip files and other compression formats. The optional
wizard interface makes zipping and unzipping easier than ever. WinZip features
built-in support for CAB files and for popular Internet file formats such
as TAR, gzip, UUencode, BinHex, and MIME. ARJ, LZH, and ARC files are supported
via external programs. WinZip interfaces to most virus scanners.

Alladin Expander
Aladdin Expander gives Windows
users an easy way to expand most compressed or encoded files downloaded
from online services and the Internet. Aladdin Expander 5.0 gives users
access to all StuffIt (SIT) and ZIP compressed files. (StuffIt is the
standard compression utility for the Mac.) It will also expand files in
UUencoded (UUE), BinHex (HQX), and MacBinary (BIN) formats, and other archives
such as ARC, ARJ, and GZ. Version 5.0 expands StuffIt 5.x archives (SIT),
including self-extracting archives (SEA), and it decodes MacBinary III encoded
files--the new format utilized by Mac OS 8.5. It offers Unicode support,
which is helpful for cross-platform, multilingual file access. Expander
can now open ARC compressed files that contain hierarchical folders.
