rar WinRAR
An archive utility similar to WinZip and PKZIP. It looks like WinZip with skins. Its most notable feature is the ability to handle *.bz2 and *.tar.bz2 super-compressed files using the BZip2 algorithm. It can decompress the following formats: 7z, ace, arj, bz2, cab, gz, iso, jar, lzh, tar, tar.bz2, tar.gz, uue, z and zip. It is a tiny program, less than a megabyte. The term SFX refers to self-e xtracting executable in WinRAR jargon. You will likely first encounter it to unpack the Gimp downloads.

WinRAR is available for over a dozen operating systems. It costs $29.00 USD and is distributed as trialware. Even after the trial is over, it is still quite usable, with just a bit of nagging.

WinRAR sometimes produces a string of component compressed files with extensions *.r01 *.r02 etc. when you compress a large file. To decompress, you just open the *.r01 archive, and it automaticaly finds and processes the other pieces. This feature is useful for sending a very large file such as a DVD image to someone over the Internet. You an break it up into manageable pieces and reconstruct them. WinZip Courier limits you to 2 GB (and 100 MB free). WinRAR helps you get around those limits by smashing big files into compressed little ones.
