>>Hi,
>>
>>I used to extract all the ZIP files using old (but trusted) pkzip25.exe But now I got one update from a 3P vendor and this .zip file does not work with the pkzip25.exe (it says wrong password). So, I need to download and install either WinZip or 7Zip. Which one is truly free and does not bring a bunch of "freeware" offers? I would appreciate any recommendations.
>>TIA

>7-Zip is amazing. The author is Igor Pavlov and you can communicate with him on Source Forge. He's released source code for 7-Zip and sample interfaces. They allow you to create your own custom DLLs using a limited C/C++ interface to his code, which lets you use 7z.dll in your VFP applications to handle archive operations.

Thank you. I do like a command-line version. I will Google for it.
