Thanks for the info. I am dual-booting between Mandriva 2006 and windows
2000. Would you happen to know how to open these files under windows?

Yes. Go to http://www.rarlabs.com/ and download the Windows version
(it's nagware - you can continue using it after the "trial" period
expires).

I don't know anything about Mandriva, but if it does not provide you
with a rar package, the above site also has a distribution-agnostic
Linux version for download.

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks. I downloaded the windows version and it seems to be working
great. I noticed that the linux version says command line only. Does
that mean you can't run WinRAR if you are using a graphics desktop like KDE?

Indeed not - WinRAR is a Windows program. Some Linux distros have GUI
front-ends for rar/unrar, but not all of them. If you use KDE or GNOME
you should be able to find one.
