FilZip 3.

06 June, 29th 2006

Copyright by Philipp Engel
FilZip is a file compression tool fully
compatible to PKZIP version 2.04g.
It's created using Windows XP, but it's
also running with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
And, of course, it's FREEWARE. It doesn't cost you anything!
You can use Filzip for free in private, educational, non-profit and
commercial environments :)
But as I'm a poor student,
feel free to send some money to me if you like it :)
