The growth of the Internet and the increased use of World Wide Web browsers are creating a greater need to compress data files.

PKZIP compresses files an average of 50-70% with many large text and database files compressing well over 90%. PKZIP’s simple point-and-click interface lets you easily zip up one file or an entire hard drive, and store them in a .ZIP file. Many shareware versions of this software are available for download.

PKLITE*
PKLITE and PKLITE Professional for Windows increases your valuable disk space by compressing your Windows 16-bit and DOS executables by an average of 45%.

When you run a program that has been compressed with PKLITE or PKLITE Professional, the program will automatically be expanded into memory and run. The compressing process does not change the operation of the program at all; it merely reduces the disk space required to store it. No additional memory is needed to run programs compressed with PKLITE or PKLITE Professional. A shareware version of this software is available for download.
