7-Zip: ar bhealach saor in aisce chun comhaid unzip

Mo thuismitheoirí a íoslódáil ach comhad zipped ón idirlíon (Ní cinnte cad a bhí sé, I mo thuairimse, ar suiteálaí nó rud éigin.) Ach go in aice leis an bpointe, Is é an rud is tábhachtaí gur gá iad a unzip ionas go bhféadfadh siad rochtain a fháil ar na comhaid taobh istigh. Íoslódáil siad WinZip, a ligeann duit comhad unzip.

Gach Tá maith, ceart? Tá fadhb amháin go costais sé go leor. $30, i ndáiríre. Nach cosúil cosúil le go leor, ach tá an riail ginearálta ordóg le bogearraí:

Má tharraing tú amach do chárta creidmheasa rud éigin a íoslódáil, tú dócha nach raibh a íoc i bhfad ró-.

And that’s true, since more or less any piece of software that you’d have to buy has a completely free alternative. And that’s true for WinZip, ró-: it’s got a free competitor named 7-Zip.
