WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce the size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format. You can try WinRAR before buy, its trial version is available in downloads. Older software including older WinRAR versions is not able to decompress RAR 5.0 archives, so if you plan to send an archive to other people, it is necessary to take the compatibility issue into consideration. You can select “RAR” instead of “RAR5″ option in archiving dialog to create RAR 4.x archives compatible with previous WinRAR versions.

WinRAR ~ What’s new in Version 7.21Version 7.21
1. WinRAR properly recognizes archives with a wrong file extension,
containing an archive in another format stored without compression.
For example, if host.rar, storing nested.zip inside, was renamed to
host.zip, WinRAR 7.20 could display nested.zip contents when opening
such host.zip. This version displays host.zip contents.
2. Similarly to Windows Explorer, the first click on size and time columns
in WinRAR file list sets the reverse sort mode with largest and latest
files at the top.
3. Switch -s=e performs the case insensitive file extension comparison
in Windows. Unlike previous versions, solid statistics isn't reset
anymore for file extensions differing only by case.
4. If self-extracting archive attempts to extract files to a folder
requring administrator rights and elevation prompt is cancelled by user,
the archive quits silently instead of issuing the folder access error.
5. Bugs fixed:
a) WinRAR 7.20 could produce a broken archive when deleting files from
solid archives in old RAR4 format. As a result of this fix, deleting
files in solid RAR4 archives now involves the full archive repacking,
similar to WinRAR versions preceding 7.20. It doesn't affect archives
in the modern RAR5 format;
b) with a rare combination of source data type and compression
parameters, WinRAR 7.x could crash when compressing source data.
Such crash was more likely when processing large amount of poorly
compressible data;
c) WinRAR 7.20 couldn't unpack ZIP archives containing file comment
fields;
d) switch -tl didn't set the latest time when used with RAR 7.20
"ch" command;
e) extraction command didn't automatically replace device names
like "aux", when unpacking archives containing such reserved names;
f) if folder shortcut was double clicked in "Save WinRAR settings as"
dialog when exporting WinRAR settings, folder shortcut itself was
overwritten with settings data instead of opening a target folder.
