    Is there a free utility I can use with Vista 64 to rar and unrar files?

    Does 7-Zip pack and unpack rar files? It appears that Justin wants to
    do both. I like winRAR. It's inexpensive and I believe there's a free
    trial period.

    No, apparently it will only unpack.

    Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR
    Unpacking only: ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, DMG, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA,

    WinRAR is the top authority for RAR compressing, as you might guess they're
    are the ones who invented it in the first place.

    After 40-days it starts complaining for $20 or somkething, to register, if
    you ingnor it continues to work perfectly.
    Of course that makes you an ****** ****, and you should be ashamed of being
    so cheap, but it still works after 40 days.
    Just remember - by saving a few dollars, you hurt Shareware community and
    some years later it will all disappear, it's like spitting into a well of
    water from which you will be drinking later.
