Please pardon our dust as we work behind the scenes to make improvements to the community. We appreciate your patience. The OS X 10.4 default system app to open.zip files is something called BOMArchiveHelper and is usually selected through use of Get Info> Open With. This is not a regular App or Utility & is not found among them.

Usually 7zX compresses to 7z format 30-70% better than to zip format, and 2-10% better than most of. Mac OS X 10.4 or later (OS X 10.3.9 could also work). Top 4 Download periodically updates software information of mac os x 10 4 11 full versions from the publishers, but some information may be slightly out-of-date. Using warez version, crack, warez passwords, patches, serial numbers, registration codes, key generator, pirate key, keymaker or keygen for mac os x 10 4 11 license key is illegal.

See this path via folders: System X> Library> CoreServices> (BOMArchiveHelper) There is a system core apps area where Find and Spotlight does not seem to index, and several core system apps not in the Applications folder are there. And if they are not, one may choose to use Pacifist or maybe a custom install using the OS X Install-restore disc or the OS X retail disc used for the system in the computer now to get them. (Or, an Archive & Install to get a new system folder, then update it.) The linked utility suggested in an earlier post works OK, but your system is supposed to have the default BOMArchiveHelper in it. If the item still exists in the CoreServices folder, you should be able to point Get Info in the.zip kind of file you want to open, & then choose Other to search for the appropriate item to open it. Select BOMArchiveHelper, and chose it as default for all.zip. Good luck & happy computing!
