File compression for free
Your Mac comes with a bunch of great file compression programs accessable through the command line. Compress makes these programs available to you via an easy to use graphical user interface. Compress can compress in tar, zip, bzip2, gzip, and zip formats. Compress can also archive files in the relatively new p7zip format. You can also uncompress files in any of the mentioned formats.
