Patrick of OnlyTheBestFreeware fame recommended IZArc to me:
If you're looking for a Winzip-like archiver that supports many formats and allows you customize the file associations, give IZArc a try. It's listed on
my site:
http://www.onlythebestfreeware.com/program.asp?program_id=67
I installed this, and it has stayed. It gave me a big list of file types it could handle and allowed me to choose which it would become associated with - no association theft. More importantly, it does well with .tar.gz and the like files - a great Winzip replacement (it is, of course, free). Recommended.
