      7zip will unpack rar files? I’ve used it for years and never knew.

          You may have problems unpacking RAR of latest format versions with 7zip. It’s been some time since I encountered that.

        Yea. It just can’t pack files into RaR.

          I can’t find any reason why someone would still use rar in 2023. When I see anyone using it, it means to me they’re as technologically literate as my grandpa.

            So pretty literate compared to most older people.
