Is there still a good, free file compression program?

Stuffit seems to be no longer free Is there still a good, free file
compression program?

Stuffit (http://www.stuffit.com/mac-deluxe.html is charging 80$, and if
you want a 30-day trial, you have to submit your credit card data to the
seller.

And Dropstuff is no longer on the versiontracker Web site.

Have you check OS 10's built-in compression? Just control click on a
file or folder and one of the options is to Compress.

Open a terminal and type zip or gzip. All free and built in. Learn the
wonders of Unix! Type 'man gzip' for instructions or Google it for
help.

I use Finder/File/Create Archive all the time to compress files
and groups of files on Tiger.

Thanks, Dorayme.

That's so spiffy.

I had wondered for a long time what "Create Archive" meant.

Thanks, too, to Gerry and David.
