Thanks for the great tip, Karen!  I just finished downloading Winzip 11 and I'm looking forward to downloading any .rar files!  LOL!!
Since I'm not 100% computer literate I may have to ask you questions now and again.  Thanks for everything!

mccoyneil, 
can you do me a favor and post a clickable link?  I looked online for 7-zip.org and the site gives you so many downloading options.  Since I'm not sure of the best one to download I think it would be better to not do a thing until I know what I'm doing.  Thanks!

karen1573,
I have winzip.  At least I think I do and it doesn't seem to help a bit.  What do I need to do to allow me to open the .rar files? 

Thanks to both of you for your input!
