Wait a minute!  Lemme get this straight: RAR beats UC2?  I've always observed 
the opposite.  Hmmm.  This is interesting.  What version of RAR are you using 
currently?  1.54 or 2.0Beta?  I use 1.54, but I think I have 2.0 sitting 
around here somewhere.  I didn't think that RAR compressed across files like 
UC2.  If you could respond with your RAR version, we could determine this 
experiment- ally.  Actually, this is one of the reasons I never liked RAR 
originally.  I benchmarked its compression vs. UC2 and UC2 came out way ahead 
each time.  By the way, are you using UC2 with the compression set to 
"Super-Tight?"

Have a nice day, ANDRES!
