I learned yesterday that there are some programs for decompressing a compressed file (RAR) but I've not done this and wonder if anyone has suggestions, warnings, etc.
Thanks.

Thank you, friend. That's what I wanted to hear (read), as that's what I was checking out yesterday...

There's also a nifty freeware utility called ExtractNow.

There's also the "StuffIt" family of Compression/Decompression utilities.

I use this-- it will handle anything under the sun.

Diane,

Assuming the file that's compressed is a RAR file, and assuming you're using a Windows PC, then WinRAR is probably your best bet for the job. It has the benefit of handling of nearly any kind of compression type.

There are versions from the same company that work with Mac OSX and with Linux (and Pocket PC, FreeBSD and MS-DOS) as well.
