PentaWare Adds CD & DVD Burning to Zip Utility
First ZIP Program to offer CD/DVD Burning for all Windows Operating Systems
PORTSMOUTH, NH — (October 19, 2005) – PentaWare, Inc. announced today the addition of CD and DVD burning capabilities to PentaZip 8.1.

Ostfeld, President and CEO of PentaWare, Inc. “Now our users can Zip, Encrypt and Burn files to CD’s and DVD’s as well as create baseline PDF files at a competitive price.”
