Zipeg Editor's Review

Zipeg is a free tool that allows you to view the contents of archives, as well as providing support for unarchiving.
Unlike other programs, this tool is very useful, because most of the Mac applications that have unarchiving functionality can't display the content of the archives.
Unfortunately, this application can't see the content of the archives that are included into another archive. For example, if you do have a ZIP archive into another ZIP archive, it won't display the content of the second one. Another example are the TAR.GZ or the TAR.BZ2 archives that can't be displayed properly, because within the GZ or the BZ2 archive all you can see is the TAR file.
The extraction of files from an archive usually goes pretty well. If the file/folder already exists onto the target-extracting folder, the application asks if it should overwrite them and it also gives you the possibility to break the operation if this situation happens.
Pluses: it can display the content from various types of archives.

Drawbacks / flaws: it can't display the content of multi-archived files. If an archive contains another archive then you can't see the content of the second one.
In conclusion: this application is very useful, it gives more features than most unarchivers, but not all the features work as expected.
