Hi Chris, Rar format isn't a very common one. The only program I know of that mainly uses it is Winrar. I think it is some sort of varient of the open source tar format, but I am always surprised that Winrar users don't use one of the more compatible formats like zip, gz, etc when redistributing files since they work with just about everything. I don't have a problem with Winrar since it supports a huge variety of archival formats, but that said since Winrar supports all those formats why use a proprietary format when it supports several open source freely available formats. The zip format is now an open source standard for general purpose archiving along side, tar, bz2, and gz.
