Testing working on 2MB of photos that I just received.  RAR compresses 
8-20% smaller than zip.

To compile it yourself get unrarsrc-3.4.3.tar.gz (120K), tar -zxvf 
unrar*gz, cd unrar, ln -s makefile.unix Makefile, make
Copy the resulting stripped binary unrar to /usr/local/bin.
There is no man page.

unrar --help
unrar e file.rar extracts to current directory
unrar l file.rar lists contents, size, ratio, date, etc.

unrar cl or cu converts names to lower or upper case but it did not work 
for me.  Does BL have a tool to do this?

This is part of rar, which presumably can also create rar files.

It comes without compiling instructions.  It needs libc++ to compile and 
to run.  It would not compile in BSD, due to something specific to GNU in 
the makefile.

P. S.  I never got a copy of my postings stating that BL3 loop got a 
kernel panic due to ACPI being enabled in two DFI computers (part of 
'optimal' BIOS setting).  Another model of DFI (newer?) no longer enabled 
ACPI in 'optimal setting'.  Loop BL3 does not work at all in one DELL and 
there is no way to disable ACPI (not listed in setup).  These are all 
about 500MHz.

Another (newer) computer has ACPI enabled but runs loop BL3 okay.

It is worth trying to disable ACPI if you get a kernel panic (which can 
also be caused by specifying too much RAM).
