Can anyone link me to freeware mac compressor software? Preferably .rte to .rar? That would be great. Sorry, I didn't know where to put this.

winrar isnt free, but if you go over the trial limit it just prompts you every time you open it. no problem.

and .rte isnt a filetype.

for ease.
also, the trial (if its anything like the windows versions) never actually loses functionality.

Question: I'm a technophobe, so how do I .rar things? I can't find a simple 'This is how you do it' in the folder readme.
Figured it out, tyvm.

How are you here then?
To rar things is the same process as zipping. Install the program, right click on things you want to rar (on windows, dunno about macs), and select "Add to archive", naming it as you want.

Kind of late to the post, but "7zip" is WAY BETTER then winrar. FREE, compatible with more kinds of files, faster, no annoying popups, AND it has a simplier interface. I'd recommend it.

and best of all no mac support

fail

yeah, i was going to say 7z, but because of no mac support and the fact that he's a technophobe (so darwine would be out of the question) i figured winrar would be better. anyway, this is solved now.

I thought macs were supposd to be user-friendly and easy to use. Lord, man, its this simple:



Alt-click, select compress, file archive created! No need to install garbageware! :]

i think he wanted it .rar'd, but yeah, the default mac archiver (stuffit?) does zips fine. if people complain about .zip, tell them to eat something sour.

I said I worked it out, as in how to get my comtuper to .zip stuff. Now stop moaning at me because I don't know the meaning of life like that snotty git ODIN moaning at me.

I was just offering to help.

Sorry, I was having a really bad day, took one look at the 'Lord man', and promptly overreacted.
