There are a few programs out there. I use betterzip --> www.betterzip.com
You can get WinRar but it's not as great as the one mentioned above

UnRARX works better than Stuffit on RAR files...

I downloaded UnRARX and it works fine. Now my question is how can I divide a file in RAR parts on the Mac? Can Stuffit do it? If so, how it's done, or, for that matter, which software can do the task? I'm trying to divide a 1GB file in three RAR parts but no success so far.

Same program...UnrarX.
Might want to zip or Stuff it first to preserve the resource fork.
