Can someone recommend something like WinRAR with LZMA?

Post by Mistrel »

I really like WinRAR but LZMA compression (like 7zip) is so much better. Is there a tool as simple and easy to use like WinRAR with explorer integration that has LZMA compression?

But euh, why not simply 7zip itself?

7zip can't seem to work with all archive formats as well as WinRAR and the GUI is incomplete. I use it so infrequently I can't remember off the top of my head. But there are some features in the GUI that just don't work. For example, click the "Add" button in the GUI and it will report that the feature is not supported.

7zip doesn't support .jar, which I do use occasionally.

WinRAR is perfect.. except I want LZMA. :?

It supports ".jar". Jar is nothing else than zip with a different extension. You even don't have to change the extension, it will unpack it as jar.
