Wait, you didn't just use PKWare zip & unzip? Or WinRAR?

I think there might be around 10 people in the whole world that has ever bought WinRAR. The rest of us just kept closing the nag box and used the free trial indefinitely.

Tip: use 7zip, it is the best on windows by far.

On Windows, yes. PKWare is for DOS.
