Today’s video goes over a piece of open source software that will allow both private and commercial users to extract most of the file types out in the market today.  It doesn’t offer as good of capabilities for creating compressed files as it does extracting them, but most people use these utilities for extracting them anyways.  This is a must have piece of software for any computer – most files that are sent through e-mail to friends and family are placed in a compressed folder before they are sent.  This allows them to extract those files to any location on their computer they may want – and best of all, it’s really small and free!
