Comments on: Featured Freeware: RarZilla

RarZilla's a great utility for decompressing RAR archives, but it doesn't support other formats. Still, that might be just what you need.

If you deal predominantly in RAR files, you'd probable have WinRAR installed (since it's the only program licensed to create RAR files.) 7-Zip will unpack RARs, in addition to other formats, and create archives and is smaller than this program. Really you're better off having as few archive programs as possible and using them for packing and unpacking. Why is useless programs like this being featured instead of feature packed well made little heard of programs like HFS (HTTP File Server)?; Like this Reply to this comment
