It has been ages since I have seen an rar, before I started to use Linux.
I saw one this week. My motherboard manual came as file.exe, that was a compressed executable with upx (it is included on the suse dvd - yes, it can compress linux executables as well). Uncompressing that, I got another file.exe, this time a rar compressed one. Unrar finally got the wanted pdf out of it - so I did not need to start windows to get it. The strange combination squeezed more bytes than a single "gzip -9"... -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
