In this case, Gus asked for a freeware application that will both compress

and decompress RAR formats. Most freeware applications *cannot* do both.

Most can decompress - but I think due to licensing - most cannot COMPRESS

into said format.

 

I don't know what the OPs intentions truly are for the RAR compression

utility. I find that 7-Zip (using the native 7z format) gives better

compression results and is freeware and the utility decompresses just about

every other format as well.
