I did port unrar v2.41 a while back... well it was when I lived in Newcastle had quite a large BBS system in the North East and drank weak Geordie beer.
Interesting. Probably worth reviving the work.
I still have the code somewhere, but never really tried to expand on it. It is not as well developed as WINRAR, which seems to handle anything including ISO9660 image files.
WinRAR is shareware ..... you have 40 days use with the software before continuing use requiring a registration.
I only used it for the Phoebus RAR files, and it worked a treat. Easy to use.
The graphic icons have a very slick, glossy look ... very nice.

1. I have purchased it ;-)RAR is great, but QLers are too used to ZIP. Even though someone (might have been Derek Stewart possibly?) did port a "Unrar" program to QDOS.
2. For some reasons the zip archives were broken
3. It compresses 20-30% better that specific archive and it's even better in not-too-full qxl.win files
but if that is the consensus, then I will replace all archives :-)
