    Something that can zip, unzip, as well as handle .rar files. I was using a free version of stuffit, but the link no longer works. Ta in advance.

    Before I download, is that a full version or a trial?

    I looked on the WinRar website but could only find version that had to be paid for.

    Its the full version. After about 30days they'll ask that you pay but you can still use the program as normal.

    Thanks all, I settled for 7zip in the end after reading a few reviews and it seems decent enough.</p>

    Windy - I also went for a moderate bike ride.</p>
