WinZip 10 Pro: Page 3 of 5

PPMd compression aside, the biggest additions to WinZip are about automating repetitive tasks, such as backing up email or a particular folder. The software now can write a zip file directly to a CD or DVD, or FTP it to another computer or Web site. It can also be set to write the zip file across multiple floppies, CDs or DVD media. Writing directly to CD or DVD is a two-stage process; a zip file is first created locally and then written to the media. This feature works only in Windows XP, and requires some tweaking before it acquires the functionality of the rest of version 10. Presently, it does not support DVD-RW and has to be started as a separate item from the file menu.
