 BR>> Rar (?). The latest Linux version of UNRar is broke for me since
 BR>> it requires a library I can't find and don't have:
 BR>> libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 .
 BP: > is unrar not any more free source ?, if no seems thay lost the battle

Yes, I D/L'd the source and built my own, which worked, but nada on execution.

Un/Rar v3.20 requires GLibC v2.3 or better, which means Mandrake 9.x minimum.
I'm hardware locked to Mandrake 7.1 for now, which uses GLibC 2.1 :( took me
the better part of a day online to figure that out .

 BP: > it can't get worse then unace

 got that one, too, along with:

UNACE.EXE       UNARJ.EXE       UNCOMP.EXE      UNCRUSH.EXE
UNFOLD.EXE      UNGL.EXE        UNMIME.EXE      UNP.EXE
UNPACKIT.EXE    UNPAK.EXE       UNRAR.EXE       UNSIT.EXE
USQ.EXE         UNTAR.EXE       UNXIE.COM       UNZIP.EXE

plus a full complement of matching archivers like lha, rar, zip, arj and many
more . Want the complete list?

Be well,
