                       Portable UnRAR version


   1. General

   This package includes freeware Unrar C++ source and a few makefiles
   (makefile.bcc, makefile.msc+msc.dep, makefile.unix). Unrar source
   is subset of RAR and generated from RAR source automatically,
   by a small program removing blocks like '#ifndef UNRAR ... #endif'.
   Such method is not perfect and you may find some RAR related
   stuff unnecessary in Unrar, especially in header files.

   If you wish to port Unrar to a new platform, you may need to edit
   '#define LITTLE_ENDIAN' in os.hpp and data type definitions
   in rartypes.hpp.

   if computer architecture does not allow not aligned data access,
   you need to undefine ALLOW_NOT_ALIGNED_INT and define
   STRICT_ALIGNMENT_REQUIRED in os.h. Note that it will increase memory
   requirements.

   If you use Borland C++ makefile (makefile.bcc), you need to define
   BASEPATHCC environment (or makefile) variable containing
   the path to Borland C++ installation.

   Makefile.unix contains numerous compiler option sets.
   GCC Linux is selected by default. If you need to compile Unrar
   for other platforms, uncomment corresponding lines.


   2. Unrar binaries

   If you compiled Unrar for OS, which is not present in "Downloads"
   and "RAR extras" on www.rarlab.com, we will appreciate if you send
   us the compiled executable to place it to our site.

   4. Legal stuff

   Unrar source may be used in any software to handle RAR archives
   without limitations free of charge, but cannot be used to re-create
   the RAR compression algorithm, which is proprietary. Distribution
   of modified Unrar source in separate form or as a part of other
   software is permitted, provided that it is clearly stated in
   the documentation and source comments that the code may not be used
   to develop a RAR (WinRAR) compatible archiver.
