• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Is it possible?

Recently i have come across a website that has some repaints i would like to download but they are in rar files.What i would like to know is, is it possible to run zip files and rar files at the same time? I have downloaded the freeware rarfile exe available before and downloaded rar files and then reverted to zipfiles by restoring to a previous date but i have mislaid documents doing that. Is it possible?

Regards Paul Day.
 
I use winrar all the time. It is the best free zip utility I have used.
 
Sometimes - fortunatelly very rare - zip-files are (or include rared files) actually rar-files in spite of the file extension. Then an ordinary zip"only"-program refuses to open them and often reports error(s) in file(s). Using winrar for zips too avoids these problems.

I use 7zip myself and haven't had any problems in the few times I used it (for .rar files)
 
IZArc is also an excellent program and I've had no problems opening the occasional rar files.:salute:
