Corel releases latest WinZip in beta

On Thursday, Corel's WinZip Computing division launched WinZip 11.0 beta, a test of the latest version of its popular zip-and-unzip software. New features include the ability to open BZ2 and RAR files, higher-quality compression for WAV sound files, and a new interface resembling Windows Explorer.

WinZip was a property of Vector Capital Group until parent company Corel's awkward IPO in April--Vector remains a majority shareholder. Interested beta testers for the new WinZip 11.0 can download it here. The beta and subsequent final version come packaged with Google Toolbar and Desktop Search, as have earlier versions.

its good to see the feature of Rar and other but WinZip 11 is still behind AlZip which is a freeware had support all the features.

There is no Winzip 11 beta available

When I go to the link that your article provides, it takes me to the correct place, but it says that there are no betas available.
