YemuZip: Free zip utility for Mac creates Windows friendly Zip files

YemuZip is a free Mac application for creating zip files for use on a Mac or PC.But wait, doesn't the Finder have its own built-in Archive (zip) function?
Yes, it does -- but oftentimes, when you create a zip file on a Mac and unzip the file on a PC, you'll get a lot of gobbledy-gook along with your unzipped files. That's because the PC doesn't know how to read the Mac-specific metadata. YemuZip will zip your files in either a Mac or a PC format so you can avoid the unnecessary information.

YemuZip is free for personal use, and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

The built in archiver is crap anyways regardless of its Windows compatibility. I'll be looking into this one since there isn't a good solution for Mac users, really. Thanks for posting about it. :)
