Howdy,
here is a short update on the progress of the compatibility script.
I have put together a shell script that accepts all command-lines that
unrar-free or unrar-nonfree would accept and correctly parses them into
internal variables. Doing so, I found that:

Hi,
Not directly related to this, I noticed that unar depends on
