    I am a Linux user but for my work I have to use windows and I have always wanted to use peazip in windows only that there is a function that I cannot find in peazip and that forces me to use winrar and it is password management as I handle many compressed files with the same password it is easier for me to use winrar than to have to write the same password in peazip
