request: unrar support

[Feng]

Hi,

I'd like to request some unrar feature if it is possible.

The current BC supports zip files beautifully, both packing and unpacking. I'd really like to see BC handling rar files somehow as well.

I asked a related question before and the reply was about the difficulty in rar lisence.

If I understand it correctly now, the lisence is about creating rar files. I have seen some freeware doing unpacking rar files, eg. A43 (http://www.shawneelink.net/~bgmiller). So I imagine unpacking rar files does not require a lisence?

If this is the case, could you consider adding unrar (no rar) function in BC please?

Thanks!

Thank you for making the suggestion.

Adding read only support for RAR files (unrar) is on our feature wish list for BC, although I can't say when it will be added.

that is great.
