    7-zip, it's free, open source and it comes with its own compression format called 7z. 7z is a pretty sharp competitor for RAR, both in how much it can compress a file and how fast it can do it.

    Only negative is it only unpacks RAR files, it can't create them.

    And the link for 7Zip is:    http://www.7-zip.org



    WinRAR itself is un-crippled shareware.    Or maybe I should call it, nagware - as a little window pops up to remind you to buy it.

    I use WinRAR myself, other than the nag problem, It's a pretty solid program.

      Why is this thus?  What is the reason for this thusness?
