The MacUnRAR utility is a freeware program developed for extracting, listing and verifying the content of archives created with the PC RAR archiver, version 1.50 and above. For the usage and distribution license please read the file LICENSE.TXT.
Concerning Mac implementation, MacUnRAR is provided as a Fat application. It as not been fully tested (not to say it has hardly been tested due to lack of time).
MacUnRAR works with system 7.0 (or later). It uses Internet Config (v1.2 or later) if installed in order to map DOS filenames to the appropriate Mac Creator / Type. It supports splitted and crypted archives.
