Target Current Products

Corel WinZip 10.0

Product Description

WinZip is a file archiver and compressor for Microsoft Windows, developed by WinZip Computing (formerly Nico Mak Computing). It natively uses PKWARE's PKZIP format but also has various levels of support for other archive formats. It is a proprietary product traditionally offering a time-limited evaluation version. WinZip began life around the early 1990s as a shareware GUI front-end for PKZIP. Somewhere around 1996 the creators of WinZip incorporated compression code from the Info-ZIP project, thus eliminating the need for the PKZIP executable to be present. Since at least version 6.0 registered users could download newer versions of the software and enter their original registration information to obtain a free upgrade. This has ceased with version 10.0, although version 9.0 is still available for download from WinZip's web site. On May 2, 2006, Canadian software maker Corel Corporation, known for its WordPerfect and CorelDRAW product lines, announced its completed acquisition of WinZip Computing.

FFIEC Census Data Retrieval System 2007

Product Description

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) is a federal agency that provides public access to data disclosed by lenders under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). The FFIEC distributes the census tract data associated with the HMDA data in a package that includes both the data and front-end software for browsing and extracting the data. They do not distribute the data separately from the software and Winzip cannot open the self-extracting installation package. FHEO needs this data in order to monitor lenders' compliance with Fair Lending laws.
