RAR Files
« on: April 20, 2011, 06:04:38 pm »
I have just come across some freeware scenery that downloads as RAR files. Can anyone advise on suitable software to open these? There seems to be several freeware options online but I am not sure which to trust.

7zip is a very good all rounder: http://www.7-zip.org/

WinRAR will do the trick for you too.
Shareware, though, so you'll get a nagging reminder screen every startup until you decide to pay for it (€36,=)

EDIT: 7-zip is open source => better price (free) ;)
