RAR overview
RAR is a compression program offering an original algorithm. This new way to compress files provides greater efficiency, and makes smaller archives -- especially on multimedia files and archives with many files. RAR also offers self-extracting capabilities as well as disk-spanning (or multi-volumes). RAR is the official RAR archive utility for OS X (offered as a command-line utility), especially useful while reading all those alt.binaries newsgroups.
To use the RAR command-line application, place the files in any folder on your hard drive, and call the utility by typing in the full path to the application (e.g., to run from the current directory, type "./rar" or "./unrar" followed by the appropriate parameters). Typing the application name (rar or unrar) without any parameters will produce a helpful guide to each program's usage.
What's new in version 7.11
- Fixed: RAR 7.10 failed to update solid archives containing a directory record placed before a file record. It issued the checksum error message and aborted processing. As a result of this fix, this version preserves the original position of such directories after updating and doesn't move them to the end of archive as RAR 7.10 did.

Version: 6.0.1
No .app file? Are you kidding? Terminal executables? Write a binary app, for God's sake. Like previous versions were!

It's 2019...and asking $29 for CLI utility that ONLY handles RAR? There are GUI compression/uncompression programs that handle multiple formats for same or less $$ and even free (Keka,). I usually have a Windows Virtual Machine running all the time, and even prefer using the free utility 7-Zip which handles anything. If nothing else, this company should switch to a multi-platform license, i.e. buy a license, good for any platform (Win, Mac, Linux), as long as owned by same user.

I have to agree with most comments here. I've bought WinRAR on Windows ages ago and love it (recommended it to lots of people as well).. Will purchase a license for macOS as soon as it comes with proper GUI. Meanwhile only 3 stars from me. For now will keep using "The Archive Browser".

Try again when you have a GUI. RAR is very good and very useful. But having to bother with CLI crap is NOT. When the price of WinRAR is exactly the same AND it has a GUI, foisting CLI crap at Mac users is lazy, insulting and stupid.
