Lots of good info there. I did download the latest RAR and UNRAR Version 5.8 beta4 and tried with that. The best that I get is that it is not a RAR file and there are no extractable files. This gets weird because I can extract my older files without issue ! The chap that has sent me his RAR file has no problem opening the one that I returned to him. He is a Windows user. Using an editor and comparing the header code with a known good RAR it seems quite different and has a number of references to Adobe, which my old RAR files don't. So I'm suspicious that this is a Windows thing. Thanks all. -- Best Regards: Baron --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
