what does it mean to us?

You can’t use WinRAR’s compression algorithm without express authorization of the copyright owner, and I’m sure it won’t be authorized.
-
it means that basically that tugzip is using a plugin interface for the dos rar program thats what it means. so why doesn’t pa do the same saves changing from winrar to pa all the time.

You already raised the question of RAR plugin in WishList - why repeat it in the General Forum?
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44… saves changing from winrar to pa all the time.
But, if you already have a licensed WinRar - why do want it in PA?
This would just introduce compatability problems when RAR format changes (again). -
all you have to do is download the winrar trial version and then use the rar.exe file
-
this should not be in general forum, but in wishlist - although we have answered this gazillion times… We can not use rar nativly in PA and we will certainly not use rar.exe from PA. It makes little sense and it would not be proper solution.

sorry for putting this on forum though i thought it needed to be highlighted as it would be a good idea but not practical i know.
Iyt would of meant an interface for the rar format i.e pa as apposed to the winrar interface which is useless .
just a thought
