197119, Compressed File??
Posted by _Chewy_, Wed Feb-19-03 06:25 AM
I downloaded a file off the internet the other day with a *.rar extension. I thought it was a compressed file of some sort so i tried to open it with WinZip (v 8.0) but it doesn't have a file association for it. Does anyone know what this file is and how i can open it?? TIA.

Jazzgirl thanks for the reply that but option is no good 4 me. I am a laid off worker and have no money for any kind of frivolous expenses. Does anyone know of a freeware that will do the same job?

This is a free program that will extract .rar. No spyware or adware.

Shelly - that is one helluva powerful little proggie. Thank you very much for recommending it. I like the FTP client that comes with it. Very useful program. And to think it's free - wow...better than a hot dog and a beer.
