Download WinRAR here... http://winrar.downloadcenterz.com/

It's a great archiving program, better than Winzip, Stuffit, etc.

LOL! No wonder I was right, it was under my nose all this time.

Is WinRaR free?

It will probably ask you to register each time you use it but it won't lock you out unless they've change it in a recent version.

Make sure when you install it, you uncheck EVERYTHING except the rar file extention unless you want to use it for everything. It'll become your default zip file thing otherwise.

That wouldn't be a bad thing, necessarily, unless you really like Winzip. Otherwise, WinRAR does a great job. I still use Winzip at work, though, along with WinRAR and Stuffit.

Maybe, but other people I send stuff to may not have the program and would have to go download and install it etc... I'd rather use WinZip. I only use the RAR to unzip stuff people send to me that's an rar file extention and nothing more.
