- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- 1. Introduction
-
- It is 32-bit RAR version for DOS and OS/2. Unlike 16-bit RAR/DOS,
- it is able to create archives using dictionaries larger than 64KB.
- This version is command line only, full screen mode is not supported.
- It can work under OS/2 as native OS/2 application handling long names
- and extended attributes. It also understands long file names when
- executing in Win95/98 DOS box, but if you need a command line RAR
- for Windows, it is recommended to use native Win32 console rar.exe
- from WinRAR package, which shows better performance in Win32 environment.

- EMX can be downloaded from ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/gnu/emx+gcc
