its a type of compressed files, like zip, lha, arj, etc. they are common in windows 
(better compression?) and the WinRar application is better than the Winzip app, IMO. I 
think there is a rar package in the LM8.1 installation CDs but have not installed it 
as there is no pressing need for it in linux.
