═══════════════════════════
1. Introduction and Acknowledgments
═════════════════════════════════
With the ever increasing popularity of the RAR archiver, this "FAQ" has
been introduced to help new users of RAR to configure their favorite
applications and utilities to enable RAR support.
Where possible, screen captures of the actual configuration screens are
used.
In providing these "help screens", copyright and/or ownership of the
original programs by their authors and/or publishers is acknowledged,
and you should consult the documentation of those programs for more
specific help.
In particular, the programs mentioned in this document are generally
released under the shareware or freeware concept, and you should refer
to their individual licensing documents for information on any usage
restrictions or requirements.
The members of the RAR Support Team would like to convey their grateful
appreciation to all authors of software that supports the RAR archiver.
Whilst every effort has been taken to test the configurations shown
in this document, no warranty as to their accuracy is made or implied,
and, as always, you should READ THE DOCUMENTATION of the individual
software package concerned.
══════════════════════════
2. Specific Configurations
═══════════════════════
NB: a) For all configurations, if the "always make solid" option in RAR
is enabled, the '-s' switch may be omitted from the packer
configuration.
b) It is generally suggested that the -m3 (standard compression)
option is used by default in most circumstances. Maximum
compression ( -m5 ) may be preferred, although this will cause
RAR to run a little slower when compressing.
GEcho SETUP 1.11+ - Registered version
──────────────────────────────────────
NB: The configuration line for GEcho allows a maximum of 18 characters
for instertion of the command line options. It is assumed, therefore,
the the "make solid" option ( -s ), has been included as a default in
your standard RAR configuration.

To configure UNRAR in the Squish ((c) Lanius Corporation) compress.cfg:
Archiver RAR

Extract unrar e %a %f
View unrar v %a
End Archiver

----------------------
14. I have added the ability to define other archive
programs. You need to enter the extension and the
archive signature. The extension is necessary to make
archives of that format, and the signature is necessary
to recognize archives of that format. Below is a sample
configuration for the new compression program RAR:
Program file RAR
├─Switches a -std -y -r -s -ep1
└─Banner
Program file RAR
└─Switches x -std -y
Signature 52 61 72 21
Extention RAR
The signature is encoded using hexadecimal values.
Spaces can also be entered as wildcards. This means
ALLFIX will skip that particular byte. The signatures
for other archivers can usually be found in the
documentation or in the technical specifications. I
determined the signature for RAR by inspecting a few
archives.
