I am sure the older ones are freeware?? :confused:

Are you talking about this one: WinRAR

 

It's free to try but then you have to pay for it.

Dont know - sure its on a PCZONE disk

I think maynard is right on this. Only shareware for a limited time. It may be bundled with other software but it is not free. Likely no version is free legally.
