RAR part files trouble

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First of all, thank you for a very useful, and neat-looking software!

It would be great to be able to extract RAR part files. So far I've only 
managed to extract a part file 
bundle once. Most of the times, the Unarchiver tells me it can't do it, and I 
have to use another third 
party application called "UnRarX".

I've noticed how UnRarX is also non-commercially licensed. Would it be possible 
to talk to the 
developer of UnRarX, and implement his very much efficient code of handling RAR 
files in The 
Unarchiver?

Did you try the 2.0 alpha?

No, the version I'm using is 1.6.1. I had not known about the alpha release. Is 
it likely to work with the alpha 
version?

There has been a lot of rewrites, and as I've never been able to reproduce this 
problem, I'd really like to know if 
the new version fixes it. Get it from the download page.

Alright! Nice work! I've just tested it, and the alpha version works with both 
RAR part files, and StuffIt SITX files, 
too! That's a huge improvement! Thank you.

Is the alpha version stable enough for me to use it reliably on the system?

All right, good to know. The alpha should be pretty stable, except it might 
still have some bugs lurking. There 
aren't any known bugs, though. A beta and a final release shouldn't be too far 
away, either.

Merging with issue 68.
