I downloaded 2 Scenarios for the Big Horn 3.2. They are RAR Files. How do I Install them in the Program? The Package Manager won't do it! !*hp*! !DUH! !**conf**!

A RAR file is a compressed file that needs to be extracted by 7zip. Then you will find a rwp file. it will load using the packaging manager.

Or use WinRar. The program will also open most archived files just as 7zip does.

Thankyou for the Info.
Does a 7z file require 7zip or winzip also?

Zip for winzip
7z for 7zip
rar for WinRAR

What Chris was saying is 7zip will do them all. WinRAR will do them all also. So you only need one of the archival programs and you will be good to go.

To add a final note, I would avoid using Winzip in its current state, as after v9 it has become extremely bloated and somewhat invasive to the PC. Either 7zip or WinRar are good choices, IMHO.
