More archive types

Post by REAPER »

Niko, what do you think about adding new archive types. For example *.rar. RAR archive has greater compression than zip.
I know that on http://www.rarlab.com site there is unrar lib source.

Hm, it could be done, but I don't see a reason why one could not use .zip?

if you want to use rar then use the rar libs as you said.
RAR archive has greater compression than zip.
and UHARC archive has greater compression than RAR ! is that a reson to add UHARC archive? and there would be a lot more reasons to add another archive typ. someone don't like rar and niko had to add another archive typ ? that cannot be a solution.
