PKZIP Toolkit for Windows

The PKZIP Toolkit for Windows includes PKWARE®’s industry-leading data compression libraries and adds the ability to create different types of data file archives, including ZIP archives, as well as extracting data from a large selection of archive types.

The PKZIP Toolkit for Windows also exposes many of the advanced archive management functions previously only available with PKWARE’s end-user applications. In addition to ZIP archives, the Toolkit can create BZIP2 and GZIP compressed file archives, as well as TAR, UUENCODE, and XXENCODE archives. Extraction capabilities include all these types, plus extraction from CAB, BinHex, ARJ, LZH, and RAR archives. Additionally, ZIP files created with the Toolkit can be extracted on any PKZIP-supported platform (Windows®, UNIX®/Linux®, i5/OS®, or z/OS®).
