To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

In my personal opinion I think 7Zip is the best and the best part of it all is that it is FREE. I can extract pretty much everything you through at it and can create archives in various formats. It works on all windows, linux and unix platforms and here is the rundown of 7zip's features:
