Download PeaZip 3.7

PeaZip has been updated to version 3.7. This archiving program is made available under an open source license and aims to distinguish itself from the competition by specializing in security. Encrypting data is therefore the spearhead of our own pea format. The program can create 7z, bz2, gz, paq/lpaq, pea, quad, tar, upx and zip files and extract various file formats including ace, arj, cab, deb, iso, lha , rar and rpm.
