Nice Mac-interface but I miss a few thing such as:

1. It would be great if I could choose where to compress/decompress my rar-files to.
2. A progression bar to tell me how far the de/compression has gone.

Keep up the good work!

True cost? - peterqb

If you buy the RAR command line tool you can use BetterZip to compress files into RAR archives. That compression tool costs €23, so I don't understand how these guys sell their interface prog for €8, unless they have negotiated a special deal with RARLab.

BetterZip will open RAR archives, as will several other progs, but the compression is proprietary, so whichever prog you use would in theory need the RAR tool as an add on if you need to create RAR archives.
