ok... I've DLed several maps.... all of which are compressed to RAR format...

at first I didn't understand why they weren't working, but after reading the FAQ I realized that they were compressed...

the problem is there's no option to extract the files... so I figured I needed to DL winrar or somthing.... according to the site I pulled up with google, I have to pay for winrar.... theres no way.....

so how do I extract these files? and if I can't then where would I find some maps in ZIP format...?

thanks.

P.S sorry if this is the wrong place to put this topic...

when WinRAR is downlaoded it automatically extracts the thigns when they open. Download the trial. Although the trial lasts forever, in a sense.

Download the Evaluation version, I don't remember where I got it, but it lasts forever, the only bad thing is that every 15 downloads or something like that it has a "do you wanna buy this product?" thing that stays there for about 20 seconds and you can't skip it
