I never really used RAR. The resident expert around here would be Laaca (Blocek). Although my brother registered WinRAR many years ago, so I could maybe (barely) ask him for advice. It's a cool archiver, but I've mostly only used ZIP and 7-Zip in recent years. (Newer versions of RAR archives [v5?] won't unpack in DOS anymore.) That old (DJGPP 2.04) build of UnRAR 3.93 was from me, so of course it's bigger. I think he means even older RAR v2 (1999?), which did have 16-bit DOS support. Unlike newer versions, that old decompression code (unrarlib v2) has been GPL'd. * https://www.sac.sk/download/pack/rar250.exe * https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/file/unrar/v2/ AFAIK, last official DOS shareware release of RAR was RARX (EMX, 32-bit) from 2010: * https://www.sac.sk/download/pack/rarx393.exe _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
