    Its very good, it extracts mostly anything I would need it to and its free, it also allows for multiple extractions with good options. Its much better than the Windows Option and in my opinion easier and better than Winrar.

    Its very simple, effective, useful. :)

    Yes, it has an option to add itself to the Windows right click menu. :)

    So. This is free, and less than 1mb.

    ok.

    what i'm asking is what makes it easier than winrar?

    i use winrar and the only thing i ever do is rightclick on the rar file and extract.

    your first post says this app is easier and better than winrar. i'm merely asking how is it easier and how is it better?

    It is better by being simpler and easier at least to me. Winrar seemed to complicated for me in the trial.

    Plus, this is free, Winrar is NOT.

    You know, I know WinRAR isn't supposed to be free, but I've been using it forever now and I've never paid for it. I downloaded it from RARlabs and it never goes off. If it ever does, I'll just download it again. I've done it a few times already after reformats.
