The program handles long file names correctly and over-all is a joy to use. The ZipFile program I did not buy because my system became unstable. When active I would have random crashes where my system would just lock up with no recovery. I never isolated the cause, I just know that while the program was active I would crash, and after removing it I have stopped crashing. A zipped file would show to Explorer as a directory folder.
All normal programs think it is a folder with contents.
There is no need to decompress programs as they can be examined, run, read, copied in and out, whatever, as if they are programs in a directory. It really treats zipped files like compressed files in a compressed disk environment. I did not use the program long enough to figure out how to zip a new file, or how the new file would relate to somebody else running WinZip or PKunzip, although the program had no problem reading zipped files created by these other programs.
