No, not that I know of, although they are shareware, so it's not illegal (but obviously not free software either). (16-bit version circa 1999) ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/pack/rar250.exe (32-bit EMX version circa 2010) ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/pack/rarx393.exe > We do include the UNRAR DJGPP part on our FreeDOS software list. The latest version of RAR is 5.0.1, which only supports Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X. Basically it's a big rewrite with multi-core and Unicode support, which obviously DOS is not very good at. The "new" .rar format (v4?) basically only supports "Windows" and "Unix". That is their target, nothing else. DOS is not supported, and their website doesn't even directly link to download the "obsolete" DOS version (3.93) anymore (although it's still on their FTP). Due to lack of wchar_t support, the current UnRAR 5.x sources do not compile with DJGPP. I don't think 4.x did either. The last version that I know compiled and worked fairly okay was "old" 3.93. So that is all we have. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
