http://www.7-zip.org/ is a good alternative if you don't want to pay

Just tried adding a file to a RAR with 7zip and it gives some rather obtuse errors about things not working.

So, no.

Although it can make RARs from scratch, and extract them.

No I mean you have a split rar archive either in .rar .00 format or file.001 format will 7 zip recompile the splits to create its whole

Re: winrar
Dunno about that, but it supports extracting multipart.

If you wanted to make a whole new archive, I think you'd have to extract then compress manually.

Re: winrar
www.rarlabs.com or www.rarsoft.com gives you RAR...I personally have both on my PC mainly as some 7zip's will not be decoded by WINRAR

Re: winrar
7zip can recompile split archives but it's not as versative with RAR's as winRAR is.

For example, in winrar you can extract broken files. Nothing like that in 7zip. I generally use 7zip as my standard file manager and when things require some more oomph, I did out my winrar and let it handle the archives.
