+UNRAR plugin for Tux Commander
+ Version: 0.2.2
+ Release date: 2008-May-11
+

+
+This plugin uses UNRAR sources v3.7.1 beta1

+
+
+This is the RAR archiving VFS (Virtual File System) plugin for Tux Commander
+file manager. It incorporates unrar sources, which are statically linked
+thus no additional system libraries or utilities are required. This plugin
+is pretty stable for normal use at the current version.
+
+Feature highlights:
+ * read-only support for RAR archives
+ * full support for Unix file and directory permissions
+ * password protected archives are supported
+ * multidisk archives support
+ * large files (> 4GB) support
+ * can handle self-extracting .exe archives (when renamed to .rar)
+
+To be implemented:
+ * archive consistency testing (needs new VFS API)
+
+
+The current VFS implementation in Tux Commander lacks some extended features
+for both archiving and remote filesystems. This is one of the main goals for
+the 0.6.x series.
+
+
+For successful compilation you will need working gcc and g++ compiler and
+glib2 library installed with development files. The unrar sources are
+included in the plugin tree, no external files are required.
+
+Compilation has been tested with gcc compiler version 4.2.3 and 4.3.0
