Compressing of files

What is the best program to use to compress a large assembly for e-mailing purposes. Im having problems sending a large model to a customer.


Any help will be greatly appriciated
 
Instead of compression, you should consider not emailing and instead use FTP with the customer. Either load it on your server where the customer has access to download it, upload it to your customers server using a given user/password account or join a public storage forum (e.g. Engineering.com or similar) and upload the file there. When emailing you should NEVER go over 2-3MB. Always assume you are dealing with someone who may still be on dial up. Also, most internet providers only allow 10-20mb for storage of email and you don't want to crash your clients email system.
