-pops- Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Windows XP should be able to open ZIP files without any extra software.Are you using XP?Alternatively there is click here. Note: i have not used this software so I can't comment on how good it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 ZipCentral is a completely free WinZip clonehttp://zipcentral.iscool.net/Used it for many years :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 A google search will come up with many that will suit your needs. If you want a rar compressor you will have to get WinRar because its a proprietary compression algorithm. But if you only need to uncompress rar files and you don't want to merge/split rar files or any of the other things WinRar does then most apps will uncompress rars. But both Winzip and WinRar are basically free and Windows comes with a .zip tool like pops said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cozofdeath Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 WinRar is free?I pretty sure it is. It just displays the nag screen when you try to use it after your trial time runs out just like winzip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
