UnRar program

AlwaysSomething

Hi,
I've compressed a lot of folders on my computer into .rar files, and put them on a memory stick, which I carry with me. Now I find that the machines my customer uses don't have any unrar program installed. I don't want to install any programs on their machines. Is there a good self-contained unrar utility which can run from a memory stick?
Thanks

Not used it, but the main program is excellent.

Thought of that, but it has two downsides:
1. I've already created a lot of files. If I was to go back and start again, I might as well make zip files.
2. I sometimes want just a small file from a large folder. Self extracting just re-creates the entire folder.

Thanks everyone for your replies. More welcome

It isn't what you asked for but I will comment that toting around inconvenient compressed files when USB sticks or portable hard drives are so cheap doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me unless you really do have shedloads of the things.

While I'm off-topic I'll also mention that your comment about zips is exactly what I was thinking would have been a better solution given many versions of windows have inbuilt zip support.

7zip is my favorite, freebie and unlocks multiple compressed formats.
