.rar opening tool... for free?

DaveAshton

Does anyone know where to download a free .rar opening program? I can find loads of stuff for .zip, but .rar seems to be eluding me .

Thanks in advance.

I do like winrar but 7-zip is freeware.

As far as I'm aware the winrar trial never expires you just get a popup window reminder.

I have to be honest and say I have never heard of 7-zip.

The new winzip 12 (Corel) is good at zipping jpgs and other stuff now it has a algorithm that changes compression ratio depending on what data you have

Just a quick note to people that filehippo files can have viruses in them. I'm not saying these will have, but it's better to download from the original site, rather than filesharing sites

that's an odd thing to say, as some firms actually send you there to download their programs, such as CCleaner
