WinAce 2.69

WinAce is a 32-Bit GUI (Windows98/ME/NT/2000/XP) for the new and widely popular compression format ACE.
The programs main purpose is to provide the user with a means to create, modify or extract compressed files of different types.
The compression features of WinAce are not limited to ACE alone - other popular formats, like the common and widely used ZIP format can be both used for compression and extraction of data files.
Since handling archives is very similar to handling files and directories, WinAce can also be used as a file manager shell. It supports operations like copying, moving or deleting files as well as viewing text and commonly used graphic files.
WinAce achieves very high compression rates using the ACE format without sacrificing compression speed.
The ACE compression also offers easier handling of multi-volume (aka disk spanning) archives and a more efficient compression algorithm compared to the ZIP-Format. The use of solid compression improves the compression rates even more, especially when used on data contained in a large number of (small) files.
Due to the high distribution of ZIP files around the globe, the ZIP format is also fully supported - although ZIP lacks the powerful and fast compression ACE has to offer.
WinAce is very easy to use! To open an archive linked with WinAce you only need to doubleclick it in any shell environment, like the Microsoft Explorer. When running WinAce, archives may also be browsed for and/or opened by using the File/Open command.
