    Good picks for Mac and Linux, but Windows has built-in Zipping/Unzipping support, no extra software needed.

    I just checked and you’re right - Windows users can double click on a ZIP file, then select “Extract All” from the “File” menu. Some may have to use the “Open with” menu and select “Compressed (zipped) Folders”. However, I think Windows 95/98 users still need to have separate unzipping software.
