Winrar PRO Edition 3.80 Final
WinRAR is a powerful archive manager (Win32, Linux, Mac). RAR files can usually compress content by 8 percent to 15 percent more than ZIP files can. WinRAR is a powerful compression tool with many integrated additional functions to help you organize your compressed archives. It can backup your data and reduce size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format.
WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression. By consistently creating smaller archives, WinRAR is often faster than the competition. This will save you disc space, transmission costs AND valuable working time as well. WinRAR is ideal for multimedia files. WinRAR automatically recognizes and selects the best compression method. The special compression algorithm compresses multimedia files, executables and object libraries particularly well.
Features of WinRAR:
- Using WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression by consistently making smaller archives than the competition, saving disk space and transmission costs.
- WinRAR provides complete support for RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives.
- WinRAR offers a graphic interactive interface utilizing mouse and menus as well as the command line interface.
- WinRAR is easier to use than many other archivers with the inclusion of a special "Wizard" mode which allows instant access to the basic archiving functions through a simple question and answer procedure. This avoids confusion in the early stages of use.
- WinRAR offers you the benefit of industry strength archive encryption using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a key of 128 bits.
- WinRAR supports files and archives up to 8,589 billion gigabytes in size. The number of archived files is, for all practical purposes, unlimited.
- WinRAR offers the ability to create selfextracting and multivolume archives.
- Recovery record and recovery volumes allow to reconstruct even physically damaged archives.
- WinRAR features are constantly being developed to keep WinRAR ahead of the pack.

Useful tips to design horizontal website layout
In the past weeks I received some messages from my readers which asked to me to dedicate a post about horizontal website layout. So in this tutorial I want to illustrate some useful tips to design this kind of layouts using CSS and HTML code, also adding a nice animated scrolling effect using JavaScript.
A little introduction: Normally websites have a vertical structure with a fixed width and a variable height which depends from the lenght of the content you have within the main layer:
The structure of an horizontal layout is a little bit different respect the previous one: it has a fixed height and a variable (or fixed) width, for example:
How you can do that? It's very simple: create a container layer like this:
...and define its layout using CSS code in the following way (choosing an appropriate width and height):
Now, within the layer #container, create some sections to add the content. You can use a simple <ul> list with some <li> elements like these:
HTML code could be something like the following code:
You can add other sections simply adding a new <li> element into the list. The related CSS code is:
But if you use position:fixed your background will remain in the same position on the browser window:
CSS code is something like this:
Animated scrolling: If you want to use an horizontal layout for your website you can add this nice feature to scroll automatically in horizontal your page in a specific position (take a look at this example). How you can see in the previous example, each link send the user to a specific section with a nice animated effect.
To implement this effect I suggest you to try Marco Rosella's Horizontal Tiny Scrolling a very useful script to implement animated horizontal scrolling effect. The only thing you have to do is to add this script in the <head> tag of your page:
...and anchor tags into each <li> element:
HTML code could be something like the following:
Now add this layer with scroll buttons:
...and use this CSS code to fix its position on the browser windows:
Add the following links to scroll the page to a specific position:

A little introduction: Normally websites have a vertical structure with a fixed width and a variable height which depends from the lenght of the content you have within the main layer:
The structure of an horizontal layout is a little bit different respect the previous one: it has a fixed height and a variable (or fixed) width, for example:
How you can do that? It's very simple: create a container layer like this:
<div id="container">...</div>
...and define its layout using CSS code in the following way (choosing an appropriate width and height):
#container{
width:3000px;
height:400px;
}height:400px;
Now, within the layer #container, create some sections to add the content. You can use a simple <ul> list with some <li> elements like these:
HTML code could be something like the following code:
<div id="container">
<ul id="maincontent">
</div>
<ul id="maincontent">
<li >Box 1</li>
<li >Box 2</li>
<li >Box 3</li>
<li >Box 4</li>
<li >Box ...</li>
</ul><li >Box 2</li>
<li >Box 3</li>
<li >Box 4</li>
<li >Box ...</li>
</div>
You can add other sections simply adding a new <li> element into the list. The related CSS code is:
#maincontent{
Background with fixed position: If you want to add a background picture which doesn't scroll with the main content remember to use a fixed position attribute in your CSS code. For example, if you don't use position:fixed the result, scrolling horizontally the page, will be like this:border:0;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}margin:0;
padding:0;
#maincontent li{
line-style:none;
width:240px;
height:380px;
padding:10px;
float:left;
}
width:240px;
height:380px;
padding:10px;
float:left;
}
But if you use position:fixed your background will remain in the same position on the browser window:
body{
background:url(mybg.jpg) no-repeat fixed;
}Animated scrolling: If you want to use an horizontal layout for your website you can add this nice feature to scroll automatically in horizontal your page in a specific position (take a look at this example). How you can see in the previous example, each link send the user to a specific section with a nice animated effect.
To implement this effect I suggest you to try Marco Rosella's Horizontal Tiny Scrolling a very useful script to implement animated horizontal scrolling effect. The only thing you have to do is to add this script in the <head> tag of your page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="thw.js"></script>
...and anchor tags into each <li> element:
HTML code could be something like the following:
<div id="container">
<ul id="maincontent">
</div>
<ul id="maincontent">
<li >
<a name="p1" id="p1"></a>
Starting Box
</li>
<li >
<a name="p2" id="p2"></a>
Box 2
</li>
<!-- Add all boxes you want-->
<li >...</li>
<li >
<a name="p10" id="p10"></a>
Ending Box
</li>
</ul><a name="p1" id="p1"></a>
Starting Box
</li>
<li >
<a name="p2" id="p2"></a>
Box 2
</li>
<!-- Add all boxes you want-->
<li >...</li>
<li >
<a name="p10" id="p10"></a>
Ending Box
</li>
</div>
Now add this layer with scroll buttons:
<div id="scroll-buttons"></div>
...and use this CSS code to fix its position on the browser windows:
#scroll-buttons{position:fixed;}
Add the following links to scroll the page to a specific position:
<a href="#p1">Go to the section 1</a> |
<a href="#p2">Go to the section 2</a> |
<a href="#p3">Go to the section 3</a> |
<a href="#p4">Go to the section 4</a> |
...
<a href="#p2">Go to the section 2</a> |
<a href="#p3">Go to the section 3</a> |
<a href="#p4">Go to the section 4</a> |
...
