What is the difference between command line WinRAR and RAR?
In addition to WinRAR you will find, in the distributive, the file rar.exe.
It is also a 32-bit RAR version for Windows, but it supports only the command line, text mode interface.
It is useful to call console RAR from BAT and CMD files, to use it in the DOS prompt and so on. It supports a larger number of command line switches and commands when compared with WinRAR, but it does't support ZIP and other formats.
Though common aspects of the command line WinRAR syntax considered in the Command line interface chapter are also true for console RAR, this help file does not contain descriptions of those switches and commands, which are supported only by the console version. You should read the rar.txt file for a detailed description of all console RAR features.
