Can some one tell me how I can extract bz2 files? Does Win Zip support it or would win rar support it?

Also Does bz2 compass files better then GZ?

357688 2005-05-23 06:27:00 I think Winzip extracts bz2 files. I dont use it anymore. I use Powerarchiver, which does most formats, including zip and rar. Speedy Gonzales (78)

357692 2005-10-12 08:03:00 Yes, by-and-large it does compress better than .gz

Almost all free (Shareware incl) compress/extractor apps will do .tar .gz .bz2 .7z etc etc

Just pick whatever you like most and chances are it will :)
