.rar files

[Dr.Volt]

Ok, here's one of those horribly elementary type questions, so please forgive my ignorance in advance buuuuttL:  does anyone know what a ".rar" file is?  I wan't to download some Rev's excellent skins...but they are in ".rar" files.  Up till now I have only dealt with ".zip" files.  Winzip won't work apparently.  Is there another program (preferrably free) that I could use?

Thanks heaps!

a rar file is a more compressed zip file essentially. I use winrar which I do believe can be found in a simple google search.

I hope you find it

another option is the 7zip freeware program which will unlock zip, rar, tar, and many others.  If you would like it, I a have a cd and can copy the install exe and mail it to you.  All in all, I have had the best of luck with 7zip, and would recommend it to anyone.

Plus 7-zip's native file format is even more efficient than either rar or zips.

And it's free, so you really can't lose.
