Winrar is a file compression utility like winzip - very easy to use. save file locally, do a right click on the file and select 'extract here'

Use WInRAR, it's really easy and VERY good. ;D
The trial version doesn't stop working, it just reminds you that you need to register after so many days. If you find it works well, buy it, it will be quite cheap.0 -
