     @DJGummikuh sadly 7z fails on some multi-part RAR archives (especially partially corrupt ones) where WinRAR can manage.

     @foone I really wonder why anybody still uses WinRAR, I thought 7zip would've runn WinRAR into the ground by now 🤔

     @xinit I have a licensed winzip somewhere around here, does that count?

     it might not be electron, it might just be a webview. I'd reverse engineer this to figure it out, but I'd run into their anti-debugging stuff since this is shareware.

     yeah looking at the files installed by winrar7, this is a webview. There's no chrome here.

     @lwpembleton 7z can't extract some multi-part RAR files! (especially corrupt ones).

     @foone wait what, people still pay for WinRAR when 7zip is available and is FOSS 😕

     @lwpembleton nope. the amount of open source/documentation for RAR is (intentionally) limited

     @foone and I’m guessing those methods are not open source…

     @ppxl sadly for Medical Reasons I'm using a laptop these days so I'm not up to my usual level of weirdness.

     @foone you're using WinRAR? I'd expected you to use this one weird Norton Commander clone for DOS specifically to handle RAR files 😁
