What exactly are you trying to say Old_Geezer?

[Anlyn]

WinRar IS free, you just get the nag screen, the same as with WinZip.
There is also 7Zip but I haven't tried that one.

The only copies ive ever seen for winrar expire after a trial period

They ask you to pay but there is no expiry, it's up to you and your concious.

Andrew - are you a complete numptie? OG was just linking this post up with a duplicate of the post. It simplifies things.

No it doesn't stop working like I said before.

I may be a little cynical these days rosco72, but I find this suspicious....

I use this and it is a free small and very easy to use program, it works on ZIP and RAR files.

[daffy654]

It does happen Anlyn, especially with some people who post from mobile phones/iPhones.

[Anlyn]

oh, ok then daffy.
