I did a liitle searching and found that there is a newer format (RAR5)
with WinRAR 5, they call the older format RAR4. They say they are not
backward compatible. I managed to find WinRAR 5.11 in one of the
newsgroups and was able to extract the files with that.
That doesn't explain how 3.71 worked for you though,
