UnAce

UnAce - because sometimes, size does matter...

When you want to compress your files, you should be looking for a tool that offers excellent performance in three categories:

· compression ratio
· compression speed
· ease-of-use

A compression tool that crunches the last free bit from your data, but takes twice to ten times longer for compressing and - even worse - for extracting your data probably will not work for you - or your customers.

On the other hand, a compression tool that deflates your files as quick as lightning but leaves a lot of "air" in the compressed file will not take you far either.

So you are most likely looking for a versatile tool that:

· blends both compression speed and power in an intuitive interface
· gives you quick and convenient access to your archives during your everyday work
· but also allows you to use all the extra features for professional file distribution - like password protection, disk-spanning archives or the possibility to create self-extracting archives?
