Originally downloaded 2/5/06. This free Mac OS X app lets you zip files and also edit the contents of zip packages. That latter trick will prove useful, I suspect.
Update 12/10/06. I’m still looking for a good tool that does that trick, it turns out. I’ve tried RadicalSqueeze a few times since February, but it never does what I expect. If the zip file has a folder in it, RadicalSqueeze won’t go inside the folder. Hence, pretty useless for finding a file you think might be in a given zip file. I do wish Apple would help with this… It seems like a pretty basic function, doesn’t it? The other tool I’ve tried, BetterZip, at least shows you all the files. But it’s very slow on large archives and tends to crash. At least the developer continues to update BetterZip, though, whereas RadicalSqueeze hasn’t had an update all year. On the bright side, RadicalSqueeze em:will show you files if they aren’t gathered in a folder. However, sadly you can’t preview them without extraction. The extraction function worked fine, though.
Version as tested: 2.1.1.
