Command line 32-bit RAR for DOS and OS/2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Introduction
It is 32-bit RAR version for DOS and OS/2. Unlike 16-bit RAR/DOS
it is able to create archives using dictionaries larger than 64KB.
This version is the command line only, full screen mode is not supported.
It can work under OS/2 as native OS/2 application handling long names
and extended attributes. It also understands long file names when
executing in Win95/98 DOS box, but if you need a command line RAR
for Windows, it is strongly recommended to use the native Win32 console
rar.exe from WinRAR package, which has better performance in Win32
environment.
RAR/DOS32 is built by EMX C compiler and uses RSX DPMI extender.
EMX can be downloaded from ftp://ftp-os2.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/emx/v0.9d
RSX - from ftp.uni-bielefeld.de/pub/systems/msdos/misc
2. Installation
The distributive is DOS SFX archive, you need to run it to extract
its contents. Files emx.exe, rsx.exe and emx.dll should be put to any
directory specified in PATH environment variable. It is also recommended,
though not required, to put rar32.exe to a directory from PATH.
This package is considered as add-on to WinRAR, so you need to
download and install WinRAR distributive to get the latest version
of documentation and self-extracting modules. RAR/DOS32 command line
syntax is compatible with console RAR/Win32 version. Latest versions
of RAR/DOS32 and WinRAR are available on www.rarlab.com
3. License
RAR/DOS32 is shareware, it uses the same registration keys format
as WinRAR. Please read license.txt and register.txt files from WinRAR
distributive for details.
