With this post, I've included a tiny program which is free, no critters,
no spy crap, nothin' but a GREAT little tool. It is not shareware,
nagware It is freeware and may suit you right down to the ground.

It may even get you to get a bigger for-cost program like WinRar. It will
only unzip dozens of compressed filetypes. It will NOT compress them for
you.

Install it. It WILL make itself known to your computer every time you
right click on any file... You'll see "7-zip" in the popup.

Select 7-zip, then click on the first file in any group of compressed
files (xxxxx1.rar). It will ask where you want it to go. If you click
the fourth option down in the popup, a folder will be created right
there. (Extract to \xxxxx1).

Click there and your done. Go to the newly created directory and open up
the pictures, music, etc.

IF you didn't get all the RAR files due to your news service/ISP, then
double click the PAR2 file (if they were available in the first place AND
you downloaded them). The PAR files repair most damage or missing parts
of the RARs.

I've never used MSOE. All I can say 'bout that is to get every RAR and
PAR (if available) you can, then run 7-zip. Trust me, this is an easy
deal, and once accomplished, you'll be grabbing every RAR file you see
for a while.

Let me know.

ATTN ALAN IRKSOME: I do not own stock in 7-zip or anything else mentioned
in this post. I am not selling anything. No links were included to pay
sites. So be sure to stupidly mark this post as SPAM.
