    WinRAR - What's new in the latest version


    Version 4.01

    1. Added support for file sizes stored in binary format in TAR archives.
    Some TAR archives use the binary size format instead of octal
    for files larger than 8 GB.

    2. Bugs fixed:

    a) "Repair" command failed to properly reconstruct structure
    of RAR archives, which contained at least one file with packed
    size exceeding 4 GB.

    This bug did not affect the recovery record based repair.
    It happened only if recovery record was not found and WinRAR
    performed reconstruction of archive structure;

    b) even if "Do not extract paths" option in "Advanced" part of
    extraction dialog was set as the default, WinRAR still unpacked
    file paths if called from Explorer context menu;

    c) after entering a wrong password for encrypted ZIP archive,
    sometimes WinRAR ignored subsequent attempts to enter a valid
    password;

    d) "Wizard" command did not allow to create self-extracting
    and multivolume archives, when compressing a single folder
    or a file without extension;

    e) "Import settings from file" command did not restore multiline
    comments in WinRAR compression profiles;

    f) when converting RAR volumes having name1.name2.part#.rar name format,
    "Convert archives" command erroneously removed ".name2" name part.
    So resulting archive had name1.rar file name instead of expected
    name1.name2.rar;

    g) RAR could crash when creating a new archive with -agNNN switch
    if archive number in generated name was 110 or larger;

    h) WinRAR failed to display non-English file names in 7-Zip archives
    properly if they used a non-default code page. It was the display
    only problem, such names were unpacked correctly.

    Hmm, wondering if anyone else reads this echo besides me (I read it because I have a registered copy of RAR).

    Do command line win32 rar work pretty well in bbs's?

    I'm having some problems with the commandline RAR and BBBS.. used to work fine,

    the IDENT didn't change so I'm not sure what the problem is.. :(

    Pack
    rar a -ep1 -o+ -c- -ds -ed -y -cfg- %p %f

    Unpack
    rar e -c- -o+ -y %p %f

    I'm sure it's not RAR.. but something I'm doing wrong here :(

    Take care,
    Janis

    Hi Benny,

    Pack
    rar a -ep1 -o+ -c- -ds -ed -y -cfg- %p %f

    Unpack
    rar e -c- -o+ -y %p %f

    which one fails ?

    I think I've got the latest installed here.. well... close to the latest <g>

    I just picked up rar 41b1 tonight, and I'll get that out via the filegate probably tonight or tomorrow. It's something I messed up with bbbs' archivers,

    I'm sure.

    you know gentoo ? :))

    :) Yep.

    Take care,
    Janis
