From: Father Justin on 30 Dec 2009 03:13 Other than winrar - with hits 40day limitation, is there a free utility that can create rar files for Windows 7? I'm hoping for a GUI, but I need the ability to create rars to split a file into 5MB blocks. -- http://www.vatican.va

Any reason that you need rar to split files into 5 MB chunks? You can do this easily with any decent zip or archival program. Investigate IZarc <http://www.izarc.org> and 7Zip <http://www.7-zip.org> -- dee

A lot of freebies can handle .rar archives to extract files, but I've never been able to find free one to create them. -- Henry The Mole.

If you're looking for freeware you might want to try 7-zip (7-zip.org), and 7-zip SFX Maker (http://teejee2008.wordpress.com/7-zip-sfx-maker/). 7-zip will only uncompress RAR files (since the compression algorithm is proprietary) plus ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, DMG, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MSI, NSIS, RAR, RPM, UDF, WIM, XAR and Z., and pack/unpack 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR. The 7-zip compression format is supposed to be superior to many other formats. -- --------------------------------- --- -- - Posted with NewsLeecher v3.9 Final Web @ http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ------------------- ----- ---- -- - |
