Re: New Review (09/05/05) - Best Archive Tool
zridling:
Not at all, RJ! I considered the command line dimension to the review, but realized that I would be quickly overwhelmed, as that would add more apps than I could review effectively. A LOT of people use the command line, especially if they work at their computer for a living. As such, I considered it a separate review altogether, e.g., Best Command Line Compression Tool.
mouser:
winrar has very good commandline support, doesn't it? i hear this mentioned frequently when people say they like winrar.
Jibz:
I think so .. I only ever use the rar.exe command line tool to create archives :up:.
I also use it from scripts to perform backups. It has some handy features, like automatically adding date and time to archive names.

That's good. But, a lot of my archives are made at work, for work. There's a limit to the amount of my own money that I'm willing to spend for work. Naturally, the supplied tools are limited by the corporation's willingness to spend money...
