rar. files
How do you open these?! I've tried opening them with Blender(see Dink Models(blend.)) but it doesn't work! How do I open them?
winzip, winace, winrar, power archiver... do these names tell you something?
Ummm...no. Not really. Only that it has something to do with Windows.
I've never heard of those either I downloaded something called 7-zip to open .rar files.
Well actually I have heard of winzip, doesn't it cost money though?

WinRAR also open's 7-zip file's.And i always use it.
Well, I have power archiver installed, but total commander treats archives like folders, so usually i don't need it.
I use winrar a fair bit, but it doesn't work all that well sometimes on certain types of rar archives.
I'm actually looking for a better alternative.

I'm a happy 7-zip user. It can only package to 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR, but it can unpackage a lot of other things (including .rar). Though if you use .ace files often, it can't package nor unpackage them.
A RAR file, is an archive file that can contain multiple files. Just like zip, tar, gz, bz2, dmod (!), 7z, ace... The zip and rar formats are probably the most common in Windows, while the tar, gz and bz2 formats are more common in Linux.
You can open any of these with any good archiver program (WinRAR, WinAce, or something completely free like 7zip and ZipGenius).

Some else also recommended 7-zip, and I tried it, but I couldn't get it to work. I could access the file(which was more than winrar did) and I could see what was in it, but when I'd extract the files, they would extract to /dev/null it seems.
When you open the archive with winrar or 7-zip, select all the files first before clicking on 'extract to' button. By default only the "."folder is selected so you were getting an empty folder.
Tell me if this was your problem.
