Out of curiosity, can finder unzip rar files?
I don't have the latest version of osx, but as far as I know, rar is not one of the built-in formats finder supports. However, the rar program is free, you can either download a copy I have posted on the softcon mac pages (http://www.softcon.com/mac/) or you can hit the rar pages directly at:http://www.rarlab.com and download the utility from there. There are programs such as the unarchiver which handles rar archives as well as other (many other) formats, and the unarchiver is free, and coms with source if that kind of thing is important to you (it is to me) You can find the unarchiver at: http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html You can even use it to replace the default unarchiver finder uses, then you would have access to other formats, such as rar if that was your choicehth..
