It's kind of like a zip file. You need to open it first using something like WINRAR. You can get a free to buy version at: http://download.com.com/3000-2250-10007677.html

Before you pay out hard earned money, be aware that there's a freebie Windows compression program that claims to deal with .rar files.

ZipItFast is available from the URL above. I've used it a lot for .zip files and, although it's a bit quirky, it's always got the job done.

Incidentally for file extension information, good place to start is http://filext.com/.

Cheers,

thanks for the quick responses. I download one of the programs and can now use the file.
