Those are just for starters. It's one of the reasons I use WinRar on windows cause of all the stuff it does. The biggest selling point for a BSD equivalent would be the ability to do both Rar and Zip and to be able to split a large archive into smaller pieces. Those are the two things I like most about it. :) Not that it does them, but does them in the most idiot proof manor. Something even I can't screw up! :D At 09:24 AM 9/14/03 -0500, David Fleck wrote: >On Sun, 14 Sep 2003, Dragoncrest wrote: > > ...but one thing the list doesn't tell me is what is a good replacement > > in nix that does everything winrar does. > >What exactly does WinRar do that you want to replicate? >'Everything' is pretty broad. > > >-- >David Fleck >dcf@aracnet.com > >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
