rar multipart decompression tool?

rar multipart decompression tool?

[Sivaram Neelakantan]

Is there any commandline tool that can be used to decompress multipart
rar files?  I see only zip binaries in the installer.  What do people
use to decompress rar files especially multipart ones?

Note that Rar support is under a non-OSI-approved restrictive license,
so the Cygwin package for p7zip removes it with a patch. You should be
able to use the native Windows command-line 7z.exe for that though.

functionality.

I always build it myself from the source:

Note that you can invoke Windows programs just fine from cygwin if you
get them on your path (or have a symlink to them on your path).  Of course
they will tend to want Windows style paths.  cygpath is your friend for
that, especially in scripts.

Does that make any difference? It works, it gets the job done, I'm satisfied
with its performance.
If you have any SPECIFIC requests, please voice them.

bsdtar is one tool available in the cygwin standard packages
that can parse at least some rar files.

I did this and installed it in /usr/bin.  And I was able to extract
 from multipart files too with it.

Thanks once again.
