Can you respond to what the ultimatezip aruthor told me

you would know that many ideas, features, and componets used in powerarchiver, first were used by UZ.

Well, I don’t see any point in that type of “discussion”.

@FAQ:

Ultimatezip was started in September, 2000 and the first public release was in April, 2001.

By then PA was already at version 6.11 - [03/01/2001] see WHATSNEW.TXT

lol, including our own copyrighted icons that are inverted in UZ and used without any permissions? :-). UZ has even copied licensing from our own webpages and some other parts of our own website (both icons/info were copied from PA2002).

This kind of discussions have no place in our own forums since it only promotes other products. Since we are one of the most developed utilities out there, we dont get to copy other products, it usually happens vice versa - but thats part of the life - we cant tell someone not to have “Open With” menu inside of archive because we did it first, or countless other small things we add every release.

Only other product that gets as many releases as we do is WR, but it is pretty different than PA and if you check features they added in past year, all of them have been part of PA for a long time before that - what is there to copy? :-).

But David, you first went to their website and told them they just copy us - which is considered pretty rude anyway - why do that? Obviously people will get offended by that. And then you go on posting here…

I know you mean the best, but please try to keep it nice - these forums are not made for any kind of silly arguments.

thanks!
