WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format.

thats what i reckon

Its a czechoslovakian archiver used to compress illegal hacked software for 56k hackers before broadband was released. CZL was one of the only countries not to enforce copyright law at the time

Prefer winrar to winzip. Especially as winrar can even unpack UNIX tar files as well.

Dude, still haven't upgraded my phone. Didn't help that I'd left it at home so I didn't pick it up until 18:00 and even then, I don't get a signal at home. I got your message at 21:05 just after we'd finished eating at a pub near Ripley. Took it that long to get a signal. Sent you a text when we got back arount 22:00 but never got a reply.

Give us a bell if it's still an issue, I've stuck my sim in my old phone which is a lot better!

Take it easy dude
