File compression software help

[hwblanks]

I have a Pbase account, but uploading multiple pics is a pain unless I compress all of them into a zip file. Sometime back, I downloaded a freeware file compression program and it's a big pain in the butt to use. Anybody have any recommendations for easy-to-use file compression programs? At this point, I'm willing to pay for it if necessary.

Thanks!

Winzip ?

I personally prefer Total Commander previously known as Windows Commander. It's not really a compression tool but it supports compression and decompression of files (just select the files you want and go to compress).

jZip is free and quite user friendly. Also supports zip and .7z compression (the latter being one of the "bestest" freely available compression algorithms right now)

filzip and 7zip are ok and free.

winrar is not free, and works well.
