Product Description:
ZipIt is the premier Macintosh zip compression program, running native on OS X. ZipIt makes it simple and intuitive to archive and compress your files. ZipIt uses the familiar Macintosh interface to help you manipulate your zip archives, including a hierarchical list identical to that used by the Finder.
ZipIt retains all essential Macintosh information for files while retaining complete compatibility with zip products on other platforms. Thus, you can easily use ZipIt to compress files before sending them to friends and coworkers on any platform. Even better, they don't have to have a copy of ZipIt. Instead, you can create self-extracting archives, so they need merely to double-click, and it will expand.
ZipIt is also ideal for your personal archival needs. With full support for segmented archives, you can create a zip file of any size, so long as you have enough disks to hold the archive.

Regular error messages when zipping large amount of files (800mb last time). After disposing of the originals I found that a lot of the files inside the archive would open with an End of file error and contain no data.
For me the app has been disappointing. I registered but will try something else instead as I need it to be reliable.

I was having occasional compatibility problems with sending zipped encrypted password protected zip files to Windows computers when I created the archive with Stuffit's DropZip.
When I created the encrypted archive with Zipit and emailed the file to a Windows computer, there was no longer any problem unzipping the file.
However, this utility has not had an update in a number of years and the interface is a bit dated.

- UI a bit dated.
I used 2.2.0 forever before updating to this version. I found the old version quite reliable, and this one too... so far!
Regularly zip a 68MB (which deflates to 4.8MB) file to send to a WIN user of a cross platform program (MYOB). You can guess that this is very important data that, while password protected hasn't been compressed previously. So far Zipit has been flawless.
Oh yeah. The author is one of few still supporting OS 9. Kudos!
I'm downgrading my rating only on the basis of UI. Otherwise the pluses far outweigh the minuses:
+ Reliability
+ Compatibility
+ Ease of Use
+ Classic/legacy system support.
