Does 7 zip recompile rar archives?

Re: winrar
 

not sure what you mean sorry thanks

Re: winrar
 

If you mean add files to an existing archive i have just tryied and i get "No such interface supported" so i think not.

Re: winrar
 

Just tried adding a file to a RAR with 7zip and it gives some rather obtuse errors about things not working.

So, no.

Although it can make RARs from scratch, and extract them.

Re: winrar
 

No I mean you have a split rar archive either in .rar .00 format or file.001 format will 7 zip recompile the splits to create its whole

Re: winrar
 

Dunno about that, but it supports extracting multipart.

If you wanted to make a whole new archive, I think you'd have to extract then compress manually.

Re: winrar

hi i got winrar now please could you solve this bloody message for me enable cookies in your browser, its really geting me down now sorry for the language cheers

Re: winrar
 

www.rarlabs.com or www.rarsoft.com gives you RAR...I personally have both on my PC mainly as some 7zip's will not be decoded by WINRAR

Re: winrar
 

7zip can recompile split archives but it's not as versative with RAR's as winRAR is.

For example, in winrar you can extract broken files. Nothing like that in 7zip. I generally use 7zip as my standard file manager and when things require some more oomph, I did out my winrar and let it handle the archives.

You can browse or search the contents of the backup.

Re: winrar
 

In general, only RAR will compress RAR, decompression is available on a free licence, compression is not.

7-Zip is my compression program of choice. Don't ask me to use RAR, I will not perpetuate a proprietary format - if you want me to compress a file, you can have it in zip, 7Z, or any other format with open/free compression. I don't do RAR, I don't do ACE.

Re: winrar
 

Check that the date and time on your PC are set correctly. I know it sounds daft but it's another possibility.

Re: winrar
 

i do lots of rars lol lots and lots

Re: winrar
 

More than me maybe Zing ;):D
