In the world of archive files, not everything is ZIP or RAR. There is a certain gray area where other archive file formats and compression tools strive to find their place. Among them, PeaZip stands out for a number of reasons: it supports all popular archive formats, it’s an open source development, and it has created its own class of archives – the PEA files – designed not only to compress your valuable data efficiently, but to protect them from unwanted eyes as well.

PeaZip is easy to navigate, intuitive and useful to all kinds of users. Its extensive functionality is nicely organized around a clean and nice-to-look-at interface, where you can find, together with the obvious create, open, and extract routines for the archive formats supported, a file manager, an archive manager and security-related options and features usually absent in many of its competitors. The list of archive file formats that PeaZip can open and extract amounts to over 180, a list that includes all of the most popular formats. Data compression is available for a dozen of those formats, including 7Z, ARC, TAR, ZIP, and – of course – PEA.

PEA is PeaZip’s native archive format, developed with two main goals in mind – a stellar compression ratio and a high-end level of protection that includes not only password protection, but also authenticated encryption (up to AES256, EAX mode) to guarantee privacy, integrity and authenticity. more

Maybe it works, but conversion to ISO makes it useless. I was searching for folder or file to ISO.

Thoughtful piece! I Appreciate the facts. Does anyone know if my business would be able to get ahold of a fillable Baldwin Wallace University Freshman Forgiveness Application Form document to fill in?
