This is my port of the UnRar utility to the Amiga, based on UnRar sources
version 1.01 by Eugene Roshal. I did it because the other Amiga version
didn't handle error codes correctly, thus preventing the use in scripts or
enviromnents that relie on return codes for determinig the outcome of a dos
command (like Arexx). I also added an Amiga-Dos compliant version string and
compiled 3 versions, one for each processor category (68000, 68020, 68040).
Currently there aren't any Amiga specific commands or options, and the date is
set to current (does anyone knows how to handle a WC-"DOS time structure" ? Mail
me!)
Included in the package are:
- 3 versions of the executable (install the one that suit you best).
- the sources (slightly) modified to compile under GCC 2.7.0 Amiga.
- the original Unrar sources, instructions and legal stuff.
Installation: well, kinda complex.... copy the executable you want anywhere in
your search path (usually C:), and rename it to 'unrar'. :-))
BTW: unrar is pure, so you can make resident, if you want.
If you want to compile the sources, the commandline for GCC is:
gcc -O3 -m680x0 -resident -noixemul -o unrar.0x0 unrar.c
