WinZip has posted a beta version of
WinZip 6.3 that lets users download and open Zip files from the Internet
without exiting Internet Explorer or Navigator. Before, users had to "Save
to disk" and then switch to either WinZip or the Windows Explorer or File
Manager to open the downloaded file. The final release of the $29 utility
is scheduled for late in the second quarter.
