Winrar query.

I have been sending files to Thailand
under a native format of *.LZH
Both of us read the files as automatically changed
to *.RAR under XP which we both had.

Now my colleague has bought a Vista laptop,
the *.RAR files cannot be opened.

Is winrar free anywhere?
any pointers or "heads up" regarding this?

Thank you.

There are several free .rar decoders, just make sure they say Vista
compatible.
Google is your friend...
