Please do not hold up RAR as a shining example of how command line options should be specified or parsed. It is right up there with "tar" and "dd" in terms of its cryptic and unconventional command line format. Unlike those venerable utilities, however, it was not written before these conventions became common, so it has no excuse for this behavior. -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com
