Winrar query.

I have been sending files to Thailand
under a native format of *.LZH
Both of us read the files as automatically changed
to *.RAR under XP which we both had.

Now my colleague has bought a Vista laptop,
the *.RAR files cannot be opened.

Is winrar free anywhere?
any pointers or "heads up" regarding this?

Thank you.

Re: Winrar query.

There are several free .rar decoders, just make sure they say Vista
compatible.
Google is your friend...
