Does anybody know any programs that can read .rar files? Or one that can change the format to .zip? Best would be need not download from the internet coz my internet connection is slow and I don't have much space on my hard drive..
Thanks :D

I myself use winrar - you can download it at Download.com. Its just more than 1MB in size.

Once you unzipped it, you can compress it again to zip format. Or you can download WinZIP 11 at Download.com as well. About 7.3mb. Be carefull though, some of these new updated versions are extremely commercialized - once installed they'll keep on pestering you to activate this or register for that. The earlier versions are best, I suppose. I use WinRAR 360 and WinZIP 10. Very little, if any, adverts.

If it is images you want to view or compress, then you can view RAR files' image contents with CDisplay (2MB). All it boils down to is changing the .RAR extension to .CBR - but only if you want to. Other people might recommend something else.

Hope you manage!

Winrar

Yeah, WinRAR.

There... that's only a 1.14mb file. Just a few minutes of download in 56k.

Closing since the question has been answered
