Answer 1

they are file compression/decompression programs. Probably you want to compress a big file so that you can send it through email. It depends on the maximum size allowed by the mail service.And you can use a free program 7zip to do the compression.

Answer 2

WinZip is a commercial file archiver designed for Microsoft Windows users, developed by WinZip Computing (formerly known as Nico Mak Computing). It uses PKWARE's PKZIP format, and can also handle a number of other archive formats. It is a commercial product with a free evaluation version.

WinRAR is a shareware file archiver. Pocket RAR, a version of the file archiver for the Pocket PC platform, is available as freeware. It is one of the few applications that are able to create RAR archives natively, as the encoding method is held to be proprietary.

UHARC is a high compression multimedia archiver.
It has a better compression ratio than ZIP, RAR, ACE

So, as you can see all the three are compression softwares, with different specializations.

Answer 3

Those are all compression programs. They are designed to take multiple files (or one) and shrink their size and make them into one single file. Winzip (winzip.com) WinRar (winRar.com). I wouldn't worry about WinUHA. Most of the time you get those files in a self extracting file.

So if you have a 2 Mb file you want to send in an email, you can open up Winzip and add the file. When it is done, you will have a filename.zip which has the original file inside of it, but the filesize will be a lot smaller. The person who receives the file opens it up with Winzip and clicks the Extract button and will have the original file extracted.

winUHA is very good software but a little old skool now, go with 7z it is a very hardcore archiver, I use it personally for work, winrar is also a good player but 7z supports more compression formats than rar
