WinRar self-extracting

[JTrader]

Hi

I have been sent an easy language file as an email attachment - which when saved to my desktop is an WinRar self-extracting archive. I have not previously come across one of these.

Having double-clicked on the icon, and pressed install - i get the message - "Cannot find next volume. Insert disk with C:\Documents and Settings\desktop\EasyLanguage2000.r00"

I do have winzip and Adobe Reader (presuming that the actual files contained are in pdf fortmat) installed.

Do i need to install additional software to run the WinRar self-extracting archive? if so, what software, and can i download it free?

Many thanks

jtrader.

WinRAR is another file compressor, just like WinZip

Hi All

I use a program called ExtractNow. Completely free and very easy to use

Thanks Guys.

I have opted for ExtractNow. The problem is that i have now extracted the archives - and the folder to which the files were extracted - is empty .

Oh well, will get back to the person who sent it to me.

Thanks
