I recently spoke with the author of RAR/2 and asked him when we can
expect the full version of RAR 2.60 to be released. (The current
version, as many of you know, is command-line only and does not
support useful features like Estimated Time Left and priority
control.)

Here's what he had to say:

  "Number of RAR/2 registrations is extremely low last years, so I
  need to concentrate on Win32 version and it is difficult for me to
  continue developing of the separate RAR/2 version. It is much more 
  simpler to support command line version only. It is pity, but OS/2 
  lost end users market."

RAR/2 is an archiver for OS/2 and many other platforms. The RAR web
site is:
