Monika Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 RAR - The file extension of a type of compressed file. It is used by many to send archived numerous data over the Internet. You need to download a program such winzip or winrar to extract the files from the downloaded rar file. Here are their websites: http://www.winzip.com http://www.rarlab.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rere Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 You can get winrar for free from this site. When you download it I think is says it's just a test, and will expire after 30 days, but it doesn't. http://www.freewebs.com/adfged/winrar.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clowdiaa Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 yea it says it expires, but just click close and it still goes. it just makes the files smaller, when you extract it, the actual files in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
