You make a valid point. I was just looking at what it would take to allow .rar files though the forum and on the servers. It is likely that there should be at least one rar license on the server if we are allowing people to shuffle the format around. That is what I ment by support... When I posed what I did I was not sure how it would be used, and if RAR would be uncompressible by the server side stuff. I had installed a trial version on one of my machines to unrar an archive someone sent me once. Thanks for the poke, I will make sure that all the machines I have access to are in compliance. I would hate to get dinged for using unlicensed software! Anyway, turns out that there are distributors and license resellers all over the place. I asked what it would cost...
