I just click on the Rar file and is opens them and puts them right in the folder it came from. Works great. Just remember some RAR files are password protected and you need the password to open them.
I recieved a file and no password emailed but never was sent the password, so file is no good

I believe there is a program at annthegran.com to convert formats. mary

Please let us know which one works best for you .. in other words, after you do the research, we will benefit (hee hee) and you will have saved us a lot of time. (My thanks also to all who have answered this question. I also wanted to know the answer.)

rar is another way to open zip files... just use unzip from your computer...all computers have them just type in zip in your search link for files on your computer...it will not change a file to jef or sew...you need a program called Tajima by pulse it is free to down load and changes several embroidery designs to different files. i found it the easiest one to use. and it is free.

Jule, If you go to Bill Armstrong's page, (link below), he has tutorials on how to unzip and zip files. Scroll to the bottom of the first page and click on the button. Please don't forget to that him for the time he has taken to do these tutorials.

To "unzip" rar and zip files, I use The Extractor 1.4.1. I love it because it does it in "batches". When you right click on a file, you can select it to go to The Extractor and when you've got several to do from different file locations, it will unzip the file into the file folder where the zip or rar file is stored. It is a great tool. To change formats, free programs like Wilcom and Tajima Pulse work well. It is a two step process by having two programs, but the bottom line is that they are free

I googled it and came up with this

RAR is a compression file like a ZIP file. I've only struck it once and got it sent again in a zip.

RAR is not a format but a way of zipping up files, usually used with very MB intensive designs. I no longer have the link but I downloaded a program called "7Zipfree" you might could google it. And it was FREE try CNet or one of the other free software sites also it has just been too long ago to remember, (heck that could be last week with me!!) It is a program like "winzip" but it unzips files of any nature especially RAR and will zip also. It does not convert but most of the time what ever is in the RAR zipped folder has all formats, if not you can get Wilcoms free program to convert with.

have you tried AnnThe Gran catalog express, I have it its a good tool its about $99 to buy but you can get it for a 30 day trial. www.annthegran.com/
