Download PowerArchiver 2004 9.0

After testing three beta versions of the 9.0 branch of PowerArchiver 2004, the developers released final version 9.0. The program is from this server to download. PowerArchiver 2004 can use different compression methods to pack and unpack files. Support for all common formats is provided, including ZIP, CAB, LHA, TAR, RAR, ARJ, GZ, and BZIP2 files, among others. Encryption can also be applied using Blowfish, DES, Triple DES and AES algorithms and the program has an internal viewer for various images. Below are the main changes of the 9.0 family summed up†

Major Changes:

• 7-Zip support: create and extract 7z files. 7-Zip is a new archive format with an open architecture and very strong compression.
