Port of unrar for MorphOS, AmigaOS and AROS

Hi,

This is Marcin (mplpl). I'm an experienced developer with working knowledge of C/C++, Objective-C, Python, Swift, Java and more. I create software for macOS, iOS/iPadOS as well as for Windows and Linux. I also port software for Amiga platforms (especially for MorphOS).

Regards to all ...

unrar_amiga's Issues

It is not clear how to enable NLS support in unrar for AmigaOS3

When running unrar in AmigaOS3 it is neccesary to set RAR_CODEPAGE variable but it is only state in the body readme and some users may have problems with finding it. We need to find a better way.

Unpack with using recovery volume fails when path of rar file was not given

RAR can extract a multivolume archive when a volume is missing if recovery volume was created (when packing). But on MorphOS, AmigaOS4 and AROS it does not work if rar file was given to unrar without a path:

However, if rar was passed with a path it works fine:

On AmigaOS3 it works fine in both cases.

unrar on AmigaOS 3 expects rar file path to be provided in unix format

unrar on AmigaOS 3 expects rar file path to be provided in unix format. In other words, "/unrar_test/tests/unrar_test_11.rar" does not work but "../unrar_test/tests/unrar_test_11.rar" works.

unrar running in AmiKit XE 11.2.0 does not localize

After changing locale in AmiKit XE to Polish or Italian, bundled version of unrar 5.80 is still using English locale.

UnRAR GUI

As we finally reach a stable release, for the time being we may think about the possibility to write a simple GUI (Maybe MUI based) that ideally could, in some sort mimic the basic features of WinRAR under Windows :-)

unrar fails with guru during unpacking of multivolume archive

Unpacking multivolume archive fails in the following situation:

1. the archive is using rar compression version <5 (may be created in rar3 or rar4 but also in rar5 if -ma4 option was used
2. some of the volumes are missing

The issue does NOT occur when all the volumes are available or when rar5 compression is used.

The issue has been observed on AmigaOS4. Later on it was confirmed also on MorphOS, AmigaOS3 and AROS.

It impacts unrar 5.70 and 5.80.

spanish translation

Hi I have an updated spanish ct file. Attached.

BYW don't know if this is the "how tro proceed", as I'm not used to use web github (well niether cli git), sorry.

On slow computers, console display of unrar seems to be very slow.

I've noticed that on AmigaOS4 running in the emulator. When I'm calling 'unrar' it takes it a second to display all the syntax options. Why is it that slow? Can it be made faster?
