How do you download this book? I don’t know what an .rar file is.
Ah - my mistake. As an ex-computer geek, I tend to forget that everyone else lives in the real world
My apologies..
A .rar file is similar to a .zip file, that is, an archive or compressed version of the file(s). Just as you can open zip files with winzip so you can get a program called winrar that opens rar files.
You can get the trial version from http://www.rarsoft.com/download.htm - if anyone has trouble getting this book ‘unRared’ (now there’s a word you won’t find in the dictionary!) then drop me a line and I’ll help however I can.
