(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.
