WinRar

I wasn't sure if this was the best place to post this...but I have to ask somebody...

Do I have to purchase the WinRar software to EXTRACT *.rar files? Or is that just required to compress them?

you don't need to purchase winrar for either of those functions.

You CAN extract and compress .rar files using WinRAR without buying it.

ok, here's what I've got...

I downloaded the winrar program more than forty days ago, I extract a few files every once in a while, now thatthe trial is over though, it;s telling me that I have to BUY winrar in order to perform actions with winrar files.

Can't you just close that popup window and keep on using it the same as you ever did? That's what I do.

Try UnRAR. I think it's actually the original - and the source should be able to compile pretty painlessly on Windows.

Download the latest revision.

You can use it for an unlimited period of time, but after a while it'll start asking you to register. However, you never need to.
"If someone feels the need to 'express' himself or herself with a huge graphical 'singature' that has nothing to do with anything, that person should reevaluate his or her reasons for needing said form of expression, possibly with the help of a licensed mental health practitioner."
