"We introduced enhanced technology with WinZip 10.0 that allows users to create smaller Zip files than ever before," says Edwin Siebesma, president of WinZip Computing, referring to PPMd and bzip2 compression methods. "However, it can be time consuming and confusing to determine when to use which compression method. That's why we're pleased to introduce our new 'best compression' feature. Now, users can let WinZip decide what compression method to use, depending on the individual file type. It's the best way to ensure maximum file efficiency." WinZip Computing incorporated user feedback to enhance the Job Wizard. Users who depend on this tool to backup data sets, archive important documents, or distribute information to others on a regular basis, can configure WinZip 11.0 Pro to email the log file and/or resulting Zip file automatically after completion.
