I don't think RAR has been officially ported to Mac and Unix yet, although
you can surely find at least an unpacker (the source code for UNRAR is
free and is available both in C and Pascal).

I'm not sure what you mean by Win95 w/o DOS - Windows 95 *is* DOS, although
with a GUI and some extra features on top.  Nevertheless, there is a GUI-
version of RAR for Windows 95 (called WinRAR, afair).

RAR is also avalable for OS/2 (final) and Windows NT (beta?)

I suppose archivers aren't really on-topic in this conference, so perhaps
we'd be better off moving to netmail, if you have further questions.

Yours,
Morten
