New Winzip in the Works · Slashdot Mirror

flufster writes "Today WinZip released a public beta version of WinZip 10.0, the latest version of the popular archiving software. The biggest change in this version is that the software has finally been broken into two versions - Standard and Professional, offering paying users additional functionality in the Professional version, while allowing others to use the Standard edition without an annoying nag screen. Version 10.0 has a revamped interface designed to mimic XP's Windows Explorer, and claims to zip archives faster. The software now supports the PPMd and bzip2 compression formats, and can burn from zip archives directly to writable optical media such as CDs and DVDs. The main addition to the Pro edition is an automation feature called 'WinZip Job Wizard' which allows scheduled archiving instructions to be set. Almost all the other features we're used to now come completely free in the Standard edition."

The frogurt is also cursed.

But it comes with your choice of toppings!

The toppings contain sodium benzoate.

This is important, why? by drwho · 2005-09-01 01:33 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Really...I don't understand why this is important enough to rate a slashdot article. I've noticed that lots of important news doesn't make the cut here, or comes in late, while trivia such as this pops in without reason.
