It seems the files were compressed on windows ( using WINRAR) and then transferred to unix box .
Dirty way to sort this is ftp these files to your windows system and use winrar software to unzip these and then if needed again transfer back to unix server . SmilieSmilie

Google for WINRAR , it's a free software.

I want to do programming stuffs in the solaris. The key requirement is extract the .rar files under the solaris server. I have aware of the .tar .tar.gz arhieve format files. I expect some one suggest the third party tool to extract the .rar format under the solaris server.

You can compile unrar from its source code:
http://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrarsrc-4.0.7.tar.gz
or find binaries for Solaris SPARC here:
WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files
and for all Solaris releases:
Sunfreeware - Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for Sun Microsystem's Solaris
