This is one program that I believe is worth buying the license for. This is especially true if you have any windows machine's around. If you use Usenet for any amount of time you will find that this program is a must have. Try sending a tar file to a window only user, they might of seen rar or tar. One thing good about WinRAR is it can zip, a file for all your non rar, tar buddies. It's kind of like needing Lame, or Mplayer nowadays, yes it's non free, but you really do need it.
