    I have 7zip Because it is free. It works for most of what I need. Yet how is it different from WinRar, and can my 7zip combine files like WinRar?

    Ok, now can I use my 7zip on multiple files or do I need winrar?

    Winrar is the best, supports heaps of archive formats. 7z should be able to do split files.

    7zip has better compression. I still prefer .rar files, though, because they are slightly faster and more known.
