ZIPpity Do Dads

Tue Nov 20, 2007 - 12:21 PM EST - By Harv Laser

Conclusion

Not only is ToySoft's LightNZip a simple to use and powerful archiving tool, it packs enough punch to use as a file management platform and data importer, so as far as bang for your back goes, LNZ is a real winner.

Its GUI is visually pleasing, simple and practical, though it needs better directory management. If it had fileZ’s abilities to copy and move data, or if it could actually open and let you run applications from WITHIN a Zip file, I’d probably use it as my main shell.

Overall, LNZ is a brilliant application that (hopefully) will only get better with time. And again, to ToySoft, please consider switching to a Nutshell-built, self-extracting distribution of LNZ, instead of supplying it in a Zip file itself.
