How to open .zip files

[Mimoun]

Templates are delivered in .ZIP format for fast downloading. You will need an unzipping tool to open this type of files.

If you have Windows XP you don't need an unzipping program just right click the zip file and select extract files.

Here are some programs you can use to unzip the files:

Freeware:
7-zip - the best free unzip program (thanks to tappel for telling us about it)
CamUnzip - Free easy and fast

Shareware:
Winzip Free to try price: $29
Winrar Free to try price: $29
WinAce Free to try price: $29

winzip is preferable to Windows XP's unzip, because it can zip and unzip a directory tree. XP may have improved since i bought mine (!), if so, apologies to them. XP's unzip used to put all the files in the root directory, which wrecks adresses to the stylesheet and all internal links.

The free version of winzip is brilliant.

Also very good freeware is 7-zip.
