    Which part of the world is this, if you don’t mind me asking? (just genuinely curious, cause I haven’t come across any WinRARs in the wild here in NZ, most folks I know use either 7-Zip or PeaZip).

      I’m from Europe, in the embrace of the Carpathian Mountains :)

      before WinRAR, people used WinZIP here in the '00s (at least Windows folks). Again, a strange choice, I know.

      Am in the US and used winrar for a long time as it was integrated into Usenet binaries as rar files. It was embedded with some other software.
