Guest spook Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Need something to decompress some downloaded UT2K3 maps in XP. Downloaded Win Ace but it's just shareware - 30 day evaluation and I'm too tight to pay for it.I'd like something which works ok, isn't obtrusive and will sit stabley within the XP environment. Sigh - just want an easy life really... Would gladly pay a UK site if no freeware is to be had. It's just I don't trust US sites from having had a little trouble in the past.Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spook Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Sir RadfordinI am looking into that one thanks. How much does it cost do you know?And is the company UK based?If not, how dangerous (or not) is it to give credit card details out overseas?Cheers.

Scarthy © ® ™ Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 I use WinRAR3.0. It is a trial version, but it doesn't do anything when the trial ends(other than a pop up message when you use it)...You just keep using it ;) Excellent Software !

Guest spook Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Thanks everyone - so many to choose from too!I will install the one Scarthy mentions, just so I can carry on using it. But will try the others out also, now it doesn't take anytime to download them. :P Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
