                RAR - What's new in the latest version

   Version 2.50 beta

   1. Now RAR/Linux accepts same registration codes as RAR/DOS
      and WinRAR, so a single registration is enough for the all
      three platforms. Already registered RAR/Linux users should
      write to ron@knowledgebase.fi to obtain new keys for free.

   2. Both packing speed and compression ratio have been improved.

   3. CRC of packed data is now stored for file parts split between 
      volumes. It allows localization of a damaged volume, if volumes 
      set contains one large compressed file. 

   4. New command line switches:

      a) -sv - create independent solid volumes. This switch has
         the same meaning as the option "Independent solid volumes"
         described above;

      b) -ap<path> - set path inside archive. It allows to add files
         to a specified archive folder when archiving or to remove
         the specified part of path from file names when extracting;

      c) -- switch stops further switches scanning. It can be useful,
         if you need to use in the command line a file or archive name
         beginning with '-' character.

   5. RAR home page is moved to www.rarsoft.com
