Rar Files - What Is That

[Luis Moura]

A RAR file is a compressed file or folder.
Just like a ZIP file, only slightly better compressed.

You can open it using Yanl and put a FXE or MOD or whatever in it just to save precious space on your SMC*

You must be starting in the computer world...

.rar is similar to .zip but has a better compression.

So you need Winrar to open .rar files (download it here).

EDIT : cozmic was faster than me.
And yes yanl can open .rar files on your GP32 too.

yanl sounds like anal
sry, that just hit me, its too early lol
anywhoo
rar is nice for computers cause you can split compressed files into many to make it more mobile ( easier to send small stuff a few times than large stuff )

Yeah, should work with the latest StuffIt.

If you like ZIPs better, on www.gp32x.de all files are ZIP-compressed.
All the recent stuff is there. The older stuff is being uploaded every few days.

Stuffit is here
