    Hi,

    I'm not very technically minded so please bear with me :eek:

    I just recieved some articles in a .rar file. I tried to open them but I keep getting an error and won't let me open it.

    Any help really appreciated! :D

    WinRaR can also be used to unzip .zip file, how to use it to create .zip file?

    Right Click -> Add to archive -> and select Format (Rar or Zip)

    Cheers,

    btw - I made a typo error in URL - thus your quoted link would take you to wrong place, can you please rectify it?

    Cheers :)

    It would depend upon your Operating System -

    For Windows Click HERE
    For Linux Click HERE
    Or select for Mac etc from the site.

    You would get a trial version, and if you like - you can opt for purchasing the licence for the same.

    Good Luck!!!
