Hi, well yes. 7-Zip is freeware whilst WinRar is shareware, so if you want a
free solution then you're just minutes away from using it, but if you'd rather
pay for something, then you've got the wrong file and you should download
WinRar or the latest WinZip instead. Hope that helps.

Hi Chris,
I so appreciate the direct link. I saved the .exe. But before I install do
you know the difference between this program and Win.RAR? Does it matter?

Hi,
I went to site and was unsure what or how to download.
I pressed insert+f7 and entered on downloads but was unsure what software
did what.
I pressed insert+f to find free and not sure if this is correct download.
What version should I download. I read FAQ and honestly it was above my tech
knowledge.
I'd appreciate some guideance.
Thanks,
Ann

Hi, try www.7zip.org and download the free 7-Zip. In my opinion it's
the best zip/unzip utility, and supports rar and other formats. Extraction
seems to be quite fast as well compared to, say, WinZip. Hope that helps.

Hi Folks,
Is there free software to open .rar files? If so where do I get
software?
Thanks,
Ann
