 Now, I want to do that again and it seems that TurboRip will force me to finish my PhD in Mechanical Engineering if I want to use it.  

I'm a classic command line hater who considers this type of input to be a great big guy at the door who keeps out anyone who isn't a colossal nerd with a photographic memory but...TurboRip is extremely easy to use. It only has a very small list of commands, only one or two if which I ever actually used.

So, uh, I downloaded Turborip V1.00.  I've never seen a .rar file.  WTF do I do now?  I can't seem to find any instructions for this weapon...  How do I uncompress??

Download "UNRAR"

A quick Google should turn up a link. I think WinZip might handle them too?

Winrar is a must... good overall archival utility.

7-zip is also great and would work.

RAR files are very common on nntp based usenet (newsgroups).

7-zip is free and almost as good as WinRAR for basic compression operations, at the loss of a little interface friendliness. Also, Java programs are sometimes distributed in and can often run directly from JAR files.
