WINZIP (zip) and WINRAR (rar)

[Fonger]

in order for you to download files from this website, you will need Winzip or WinRAR.

What are Zip/RAR files?
Zip/RAR files are single files, sometimes called "archives", that contain one or more compressed files. Zip?RAR files make it easy to keep related files together and make transporting, e-mailing, downloading and storing data and software faster and more efficient. The Zip format is the most popular compression format used in the Windows environment.
