I doubt it at this time, but it does a good enough job on 2 and 3
(don't know if there was ever a 4 format). This was the first 5 I've
run into.
While Winrar was a fine product in it's day, the changes made in the
last five years make no sense to me, other to increase $, and creating
a non backward compatible just doesn't sit well. I no longer can see
buying and using a product that pushes downloaders into buying it to
view what I post.
ps unless they'd send me a check? (Wink wink, Nudge nudge);
nah, I'd forget to cash it.
