Does anyone know what a .rar is? I have an app with this extension but I don't have a clue to what it is.

Thanks

Rar is the extension used by a compression program.

name.rar

or if split into chuncks

name.rar
name.r01
name.r02

etc etc

"Winrar" creates these files and is needed to unpack them (Unless they are self extracting) name.exe name.r01

Same type of program as Pkzip,Winzip, Win ace

Downlaod Winrar from http://www.rarsoft.com/

I can download and use a lot of programs. What I was wondering was if this particular program will cost me money to download and use.

You winding me up ?

If you click the link, you will see a "DOWNLOAD" from there you can download Winrar for "FREE"

You can evaluate the program, and if after 10 years you think is good, you may wish to purchase it ?
