Free "zip" file compression utilities

An alternative to WinZip gets better compression and is free. WinZip used to be a one-time license -- buy it and get updates free for life.  No longer (so much for promises -- the ability for the company to unilaterally change this must've been in some fine print I didn't read). Fred Langa, in his Langa List newsletter, says he's changing over to 7-Zip as WinZip licenses expire. I just may be doing the same thing, as upgrading from WinZip 9 to 10 costs $29.95.
