Winzip 9.0 Final - What's New?

- WinZip 9.0 supports 128- and 256-bit key AES encryption, which provide 
much greater cryptographic security than the traditional Zip 2.0 encryption 
method used in earlier versions of WinZip.

- In addition to supporting the original Zip file format, WinZip 9.0 also 
supports the 64-bit extensions to the Zip file format. The extended format 
lets you store all the data you need in Zip files of virtually unlimited size.

- The compression method previously listed as "Maximum" is now listed as 
"Maximum (portable)." This is to distinguish it from "Maximum (enhanced deflate).
" WinZip 9.0 supports the "enhanced deflate" compression method. 
This compression method provides greater compression and reduces the size 
of your Zip files, saving you data transmission time and valuable disk space.

- Shortcut menus for files in the WinZip Classic interface main window now 
include commands associated with the file's generic type, if one is defined. 
For example, the menu for a bitmap (.BMP) file will now include any commands 
associated with the generic "image" file type as well as those that are explicitly 
associated with bitmap files.

- WinZip now supports the What's This? menu for many dialog controls. 
To display brief help information for a dialog control, simply right-click 
the control and click What's This? from the shortcut menu.

- The animated dialogs that appear when adding or extracting files now 
include a progress meter.

- WinZip now supports the New, Open, Favorites, Close, Print, and Send 
(mail) keys on keyboards with these "application" keys.... etc
