RAR - What's new in the latest version Version 2.50 1. Now RAR/Linux accepts same registration codes as RAR/DOS and WinRAR, so a single registration is enough for the all three platforms. Already registered RAR/Linux users should write to ron@knowledgebase.fi to obtain new keys for free. 2. Both packing speed and compression ratio have been improved. 3. CRC of packed data is now stored for file parts split between volumes. It allows localization of a damaged volume, if volumes set contains one large compressed file. 4. New command line switches: a) -sv - create independent solid volumes. This switch has the same meaning as the option "Independent solid volumes" described above; b) -ap - set path inside archive. It allows to add files to a specified archive folder when archiving or to remove the specified part of path from file names when extracting; c) -- switch stops further switches scanning. It can be useful, if you need to use in the command line a file or archive name beginning with '-' character. 5. RAR home page is moved to www.rarsoft.com
