Winzip. Looking for a real free download?

As title really. I don't get sent many zipped files but I have a set of photos sent me for a job I'm supposed to be doing tonight and the 'free' trial of Winzip I had on my PC has expired and they actually want me to spend money and buy...

Any pointers to some 'permanent' winzip software??

Thanks in advance,

Mike

I use 7ZIP http://www.7-zip.org/
Seems to work ok and best of all it's free.

Pea Zip is brilliant and 100% fully free it is also available for just a bout any operating system you could think off.

Windows "free downloads" are a murky mire.

Winrar for me, I have had many files that 7zip will not unzip (reports errors in files) but Winrar will.

Badly as it compression is quite low ending up in big files

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
