i have downloaded a .ras file. the producer of the file has said
"To uncompress this file must use ras compress software.
It's the latest technology, 18% more compression than winrar.
In few weeks, the will be new standard in emule and torrent files."

i have tried Filesee with no sucsess (shows nothing)
i have tried PMview (shows a blank white sheet)
i have tried AYEconvert (nothing)
and RASmaker (window opens then closes in about 1.5 secs)
free video decompiler (god knows)

I just can't unpack this file
please can you great guys help me view the file

.RAS = :

RAS Supposed Compressed Torrent File
RAS Sky Subtracted Data
RAS Cals Raster File
RAS Max Payne Data File (Rockstar Games)
RAS Sun Raster Graphic (Sun)
RASMOL RasMol File
RASMOLRC RasMol Configuration File

I think the significant term here is "SUPPOSED", don't you ?

If I were you I'd forget about needing to be the first kid on the block to have downloaded a file that is 18% smaller than the next bloke's file, and find a more conventional compression type.

Remember - size isn't everything!

I agree with you. I don't know why he had to upload the file like it in the first place.

I have offically given up on the file.

thanks for getting back to me :))
