'''Eazel''' was a [[Windows]] compression program. It advertised support for its own format, with the extension ".eaz", which it heavily implied to be proprietary; however, this is actually just [[ZIP]], or, at any rate, a variant thereof which seems to be functionally indistinguishable when reading. At some point before version 3.01<ref>https://eazel.en.uptodown.com/windows/download</ref> (date unknown), "EAZ" was dropped, and the program itself seems to have become a frontend for [[7-Zip]] (more likely is that this occured upon the introduction of versions 2.0 or 3.0, in 2010-2011<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20111027233048/http://eazel.info/descarga.html</ref> or 2012<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20121110233613/http://eazel.info/descarga.html</ref>, respectively; however, no working copies of these seems to be available online); Eazel itself entirely stopped being updated in 2014<ref>E.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20190630153721/http://www.eazel.info/ - note the copyright date at the bottom</ref>.
