Winrar Shareware Review

Winrar is shareware which can compress and extract file which can make life a little easier. This program doesn't sound like much but when you download files over the internet most of them are either compressed with winrar or another type of file that you don't know how to extract, but lucky for you winrar makes it really easy. This program is great for makes huge files smaller even if it is a couple of megabytes and the great thing is you can compress it based on the settings you set for it for complete customization. Winrar has support for winrar,zip file archieves and can unpack iso,7z,Z,ACE,UUE,CAB,ARJ,JAR,BZ2,LZH,LZH, and TAR files making this program extremely handy to have if you ever need to unpack these types of files. Only little problem is that trying to compress huge files can take some time so be prepared to do something else why you wait. Winrar is one of the best sharewares I have used since most people use these, so this is a real convenience to have instead of having to search online at files I have never heard of before.

Winrar even has two little easter eggs hidden with in the program if you are using 3.20 or higher versions. The first one you have to click on help and go to about winrar and when the new little window pops up click on the winrar book archieve and the book will fall to the ground and bounce. The second easter egg in at the same screen, but instead of clicking on the book click on the Winrar heading and it will change the still picture of a beach into an animation making the water move back and forth.

Winrar also offers a solution to splitting up multiple volumes of the same file. For example if you had a file that was 800 megabytes and wanted to add it to a cd rom you couldn't do it(cd roms only hold alittle more then 700 megabytes), but by using winrar to split up one file into 700 megabytes and the other into 100 megabytes you could fit each of these files on one cd each (one cd with the 700 megabytes file and the other cd with the 100 megabytes file). Now your probably wondering how you put these files back together,well winrar makes it really easy. First, you bring both those file archieves back to you computer desktop and then just open up either one of those archieves and the file inside is already combined so just extract it to you desktop and your file is back together easily. This program is a must have when downloading files from websites that use winrar files and it's really convenient and small in file size so I highly recommend you download this program if you havn't already.Be sure to check out my blog for more reviews and tutorials at http://tutorialandeditorials.blogspot.com/
