    I love the irony " WINRAR" for mac. Isn't it called RAR Expander or UnrarX for Mac? :)


    You type in google rar for and it automatically gives you linux, mac, windows ;).

    You can use Stuffit to compress files into the RAR format, although it is not free. To extract RARs, you can use a variety of free applications, such as The Unarchiver or iArchiver etc.

    One alternative to HJSplit is Split&Concat ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~loekjehe/Split&Concat/)

    I hate stuffit, it used to give me some sort of glitch, can't remember what now... I use the unarchiver.

    I just don't understand why people can't use Google.

    UnrarX is a better app for extraction of rar files in my experience, and use simplyrar to create rar files

    i have used a lot, i now use unrarx. but really i can understand why you'd ask for winrar for mac because nothing on the mac side really matches up to it, in my opinion, i'd love a macrar.

    Because we're experts here, and surely we know better than google! ;) :rolleyes: :p

    To the OP, there is a winrar for mac, but it's commandline only. Linky.
