Certificate revocation list checking

LZMA and PPMd Support

LZMA and PPMd are increasingly popular general purpose algorithms which can provide increased compression. PPMd support available on 32-bit version only.

Administrative lockdown of end-user options

PKZIP is the only ZIP utility with a Policy Manager to lock configuration options, so that compression practices can be enforced for individuals or departments - delivering considerable bottom-line savings from consistent, company-wide data compression.
