  Cut from 0index from ftp://ftp.elf.stuba.sk/pub/pc/pack/ :

rar_amy.lha	UnRAR for Amiga
rar200.exe	RAR v2.00 (DOS)
rar200p.exe	RAR v2.00 (OS/2)
rar20bsd.sfx	RAR v2.00 beta-3 for Unix (BSD)
rar20lnx.sfx	RAR v2.00 beta-3 for Unix (Linux)
rar20sco.sfx	RAR v2.00 beta-3 for Unix (SCO)

  I use RAR for Linux and for BSD on school computer and they work
even better, than RAR for DOS, 'cause you can set dictionary size up
to 1024kB.
