For some years I have been collecting rar encoded binaries from usenet. I either grab messages in pine and run uudeview to decode, or grab files directly from an easynews web site. Most of these rars find nothing to extract. I can still extract older rars with .mod music files from years ago. I am running unrar and rar in linux, with a Dec-PC, Speakup Fedora 1. Also, many are posting par2 files incase we miss any of the rars. We grabbed a linux program to handle these, however, I cannot find any command-line options to put everything together. Are their any smarter rar extracting programs which any of you can please suggest which also handle wild cards? Thanks so much in advance Hart
