Re: opening RAR files

Chris,
I downloaded the link you gave me and I extracted 'Great Expectations'.  Thanks 
again.

  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
