roxio far as i know make cd and dvd burning software. winrar is a program that compresses lots of files in to usually 1 file to make them smaller and easier to send to people or to keep on disk.

Hi Badger, just to show how ignorant I am can you tell me just what Winra is? I used to have something called Roxio on my computer but after the Hd Failure I got a new Hd etc but after all was loaded on again Roxio had vanished. would Roxio have been what was used to 'burn' to? I have this evening found 3 CDs and I did not put the stuff on them but in the past it looks like a visitor saved the contents of for example Laptop, I put in the Cd and it is full of Dbx files, I assume this must be saved Emails, and in Dbx format I would have to get them back to normal Emails. I think Ms Outlook saves as Pst and that is a form of archiving. Is there any way of simply getting stuff a computer and having it readily available for reading, not in some sort of Code, I am assuming Dbx is a sort of Code, and you should not try to open a Dbx, so guessing is it something like Import and export? I have-not done this myself yet, but I have bought a new selfpowered drive a Western Digital which I hope to learn to use as a back up in case of another Hd failure.Ps sorry to have burdened you with that lot ! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Badger" <monty_badger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

well the ones i tried last night didn't look like they were really free or if they were they had limitations. the defrag software for example still had an option to get a full membership and had adds on the main screen when you ran it.
as for disk backup, most people have nero on their computer if they have a cd or dvd writer and you can make backup images to cd, dvd or a separate hard disk or partition with that.
win rar is a really good program when it comes to archives but i'm not sure if the latest version covers the new winzip multiple archives where the zip file is split in to lots of small files to reduce the risk of damaged files. if you really can get a full version of winrar for free though and there's no catches i'd take it.

Dear Dorothy and list:

Where an article is unsigned and you wish to write to the paper
or magazine about it, you would direct your comments to the
Editor of the paper or magazine.  They in turn will pass your
comments on to the person who wrote the article or respond to
your letter themselves, as they take responsibility for such
articles.

I found some interesting programs mentioned in Computer Shopper I
believe for February.

Its amazing the various programs software firms permit the free
use of for home use.

The http://www.netstumble.org site had several programs for the
management and monitoring of a wireless network that are free for
home use.

http://www.runtime.org has a disk imaging and restore program
that is also free for home use.

http://www.rarlab.com has WINRAR, a file compression and
extraction program reputed to make more compact archives than
WinZip.  That is probably comparing it to WinZip 10.0, not sure
if WinZip 11.1, the version I am running outperforms it.
