PKZIP

Updated: 10/17/2017 by Computer Hope

First developed by Phillip Katz, PKZIP is a compression utility that compacts files and reduces the overall storage space they require. To use a compressed PKZIP file, the files must first be decompressed using PKUNZIP or another compression program capable of unzipping a zip file.
