Hi.
Yup, this is exactly the case. When you have a file with the .rar
extention, it's exactly like, or extremely close to a .zip file,
which means it looks like it's only one file but when you open it, it
actually may contain several other smaller files. On Sendspace for
example, people have been known to use both .rar and .zip files to
send large files to keep them smaller. It's much easier to send one
much larger file than having to send several smaller ones. The .rar
or .zip files you see aren't meant to be converted, at least not when
you first see them. After you extract them, or unzip them in the
case of winzip, or XP's native unzipping support, you can do whatever
you like with the files contained in the archive. But you can't
actually convert a .rar file into something else.

I think .RAR is akind of hyperzip, or a superset of the .ZIP format. Have
had good luck with the program Winwrar or Winrar having seen it with and
without the extra W.
There's a liberal evaluation period and it's about $39.00. They actually
got back to me on a complaint made during the EVal period.
