AW: OT: looking for a good Zip Tool on Mac

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Mark
Thanks for your guide.
one additional question: Is it standard on Mac, that the expander creates a
folder with the name of the zip file in the target dir, or does that depend
on the kind of creating the zip file and can't be choosen while extracting?
Thanks
Tiemo
