Re: Concerning Rar files
same as winzip in the old days. I never used 7zip much...winrar provides all my archiving needs; can even do .zips instead with the mere activation of a radio button. i have found that rar is a superior archiving format, though of corse it won't do you much good with mp3s and such unless you want to just pack all the files in a convenient bundle, since compressed sound files are already compressed - Original Message - From: "Dave McElroy" To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2014 6:57 PM Subject: RE: Concerning Rar files WELL, I THINK YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR IT, BUT I'D BEEN USING WINRAR FOR YEARS ON MY XP PC AND JUST SKIPPING OVER THE NAG SCREEN. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Tom Kaufman Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2014 7:17 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Concerning Rar files Is WinRAR no longer free?

Re: Concerning Rar files
with ninite all you have to do is download the installer for it and run it. we're kind of leaving the topic of audio here so i won't say more than that. but ninite is very easy to use. check the box for the program you want, press the get installer button and on the next page will be a link to download your ninite installer for all the programs you've selected. it can be just one program, or even 2 or 3 or as many as are on there. and even better is that if there's a new version available you ccan just run your ninite installer and it'll grab the latest version for you automaticly. no more hunting around for download links. Ok, like I say this is drifting off-topic here so I'll not say anymore on that. On 5/20/2014 11:39 AM, Tom Kaufman wrote: I've heard of 7 Zip; I tried to get it from that Ninite site.
