OK, pet peeve, RAR files! RAR is like ZIP, it's a way to compress files. It has some nice features, but it's not natively supported on Windows PC's, you need to download and install a program to open a RAR file. ZIP however is natively supported on Windows PC's since XP, and most other OS's like Linus and Apple. You dont need to download and install a program to use ZIP files. If you upload a file to share, use ZIP, not RAR. Most people can not open a RAR file unless they download and install WinRAR or somthing like that. RAR = some people can open it, most cant. ZIP = just about everyone can open it. Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |
