Check out http://www.7-zip.org/ a free file archiver with high
compression ratio for Windows. Supported formats: 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR,
ARJ, LZH, GZIP, BZIP2, Z, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB. For ZIP and GZIP
formats 7-Zip provides compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than
ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip.

It has lots more feature and comes handy under the Window file context
menu (on right click). Cooler than Winzip. And, of course, this is a
freeware (the least assured from any sourceforge.net project).
