My wish is Linux's RAR format support can be better, that the RAR files created by FileRoller would be as feature-rich as archives created with winRAR.
I mentioned FileRoller above: actually I don't know what application fileroller called to create rar files, I have tried in SuSE 10.2 both rar 3.60 (Shareware version of Alexander Roshal) and rar 2.71 (Shareware version of Eugene Roshal), both cannot create RAR that contain readable filename on Windows.
So, the only method that works from linux to windows is mkisofs? Too bad. I thought that the shareware version of rar in linux would work. I tried it time ago when I started using linux, back in 1998, but I found it lacking compared to the dos/win version. I hoped it would be better nowdays. There is another option you might try: winrar in linux under wine. If winrar doesn't run, then one of the older dos version, perhaps. Another method: copy file in linux partition to a vfat partition using a windows charset that works, then compress from there. You have to steps to check: first, that when copying to vfat, that the vfat is correctly readable in a windows machine (correct charset, you may have to play with fstab); second the compression step. My hope is that the first step corrects the charset used. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
