Unrar & Dopus4
Hi
I want to unarc .rar files (old '90s ones, not massive maybe <4mb) so I have 2 questions 1) Which version of Unrar should I use 2) What is the correct Dopus4 button syntax for Unrar {sourcefile} to {Destination-Directory} I've tried a few combos but either it just doesn't work or I get an ixemul.library "ABORT" requestor my ixemul.library is V48.0 Help please Thanks for reading!

In the filetype class for .rar I use:
*command User1 Amigados c:unrar x {f} CD Destination Do all files Output window Rescan Destination Then I just select Source and Destination windows and click on the the Arc Extract button The UnRAR version is 3.10b1 [68020] Ported by Diego CR (Oct 23 |

Thanks Arnie, I just cannot get this to work, just tried 3 different versions of Unrar and it wont work...
Now I'm thinking, maybe the file was created on a PC as it unarcs perfectly with Winrar. in PC folders. I guess I need something that I KNOW was arced on an Amiga to test it on. the only thing different I was doing from your post was ... do all files and rescan destination Other than that, it's identical. I got the file from some amiga site (not sure which now) Thanks for your time though, much appreciated V1 |

I only unrar PC .rar files. Never had a .rar file made on the Amiga.

I installed it and it works fine for Lha but still refuses rar files, every .rar file gives the error "an error occured: unknown data format" Not sure why that should be update!!! Now I just get "Processed Nothing" on the up side, I can now unzip from opus which I was having problems with also Last edited by volvo_0ne; 26 August 2016 at 20:54. Reason: update!!! |

Did you install the RAR package at http://aminet.net/package/util/arc/xad_rar as well? It is supposed to support newer RAR formats than the default XAD RAR module.

How are you unpacking the files?
When you have source and destination windows selected and select the .rar file do you click on Arc Extract or click on Unrar? |

OK Tried that, I get much HD activity, then nothing happens.
(side note for anyone reading) There is a xadmaster keyfile on Aminet, I installed it and thereafter got a "software failure" at EVERY boot time (although pressing the LMB appeared to then boot fine) I don't know why that should be but I thought I would warn people. Oh! and it even persisted after removing it and all references to it (you have been warned) |

I KNOW the keyfile is the problem with the restart failure, because I reinstalled a backup twice to make sure, BTW just in case... VirusZ is now checking & the file is on my hd (but not invoked) \update/ Virus check just ended .. all clear Maybe I should also add that the system is on Winuae A1200 + 4Mb Fast, Kickstart 39.106, Workbench 39.29 (all running under W10 on 64bit HP PC) Last edited by volvo_0ne; 28 August 2016 at 23:12.

I don't use XAD myself.
Which Amiga are you using, WB version? I'll download the CU dopus and use it with my dopus config to see if everything works O.K. |

You don't use xad?
as time goes on, I'm wishing I didn't All I want to do is unarc stuff! The reason for my setup is because I have a real Amiga (which is out of action because of a keyboard fault) and everything has been ported to the uae setup on my pc for the time being, that's why I have a backup of the original drive to see if anything bad occurs (like the keyfile problem) |

Wouldn't work for me with 4mb fast. Worked with 8mb fast. Try increasing your fastmem.
