.rar files
Can any one explain what .rar files are and what kind of software you need to open them. I run a MAC laptop thanks for any help.

Google "winrar". There are many different sources for free downloads of the software you need to open .rar files.

.rar files are compacted files similar to .zip , just a different, and in my opinion, a more efficient method of compacting.

Google ".rar mac" that will give you a wide choice of free downloads.

Yes, the system DOES work on a Mac. I regularly send photos from a PC to a Mac this way.

Duditz, you can't open pdo on a mac. This is always a sore point with me that folks won't take the smallest amount of time to convert to pdf. No excuse really.
