In the 1970’s as a senior technician, Selwyn created and taught technical courses. Then after buying his first computer in 1980 he then produced 100’s of computing articles for New Zealand magazines and newspapers, pioneered the first Computer Shows in New Zealand and also presented computer based seminars around New Zealand and in Canberra, Australia.
In 1985 he was invited into the computer industry, and in 1992 he started his PC support business, until he “retired” in 2015.
From the 1980’s Selwyn provided an online Bulletin Board Service in Auckland, that had links (via 300 bits per second telephone!) to swap ideas and public domain software using the original zip.exe
Then in early January 1994 the original RAR.exe code arrived there as a download file. Testing soon proved that RAR.exe was many times faster and much more efficient in compressing many files, while the original zip could only compress one file at a time!
So Selwyn immediately “snail mailed” US$29 to the original RAR distributor in Finland, and not only received his license, and an invitation to be the certified New Zealand Australia and Pacific Islands Distributor!
So ever since RAR.exe’s international release in January 1994, Selwyn has been using his teaching skills to support RAR customers, and then WinRAR from its first release in 1995 when Windows 95 was released.
After “retiring” he published his WinRAR eBook (now well out of date), then started creating what is now his three RAR Secrets courses, that are designed for WinRAR users to much more easily learn how to create your own RAR code applications!
Then in October 2020 he was invited to be the WinRAR (and of course RAR) Technical Support for the WinRAR International Office, win-rar.com.
This site is designed to meet the needs of all our customers and to make sure that they always come first.
The goal of this website is to provide a site that allows visitors to not only download and trial any of the range of WinRAR and RAR archiving apps, but primarily to provide you with an easy to use online registration service, and full access our training courses.
