The latest BTTR port of UnRAR (DJGPP) is "V3.8(0).5" while the latest UnRAR (IIRC, also compiled by rr with DJGPP) hosted at RarLab.com (under Extras) is unrar38b.zip.

Since RayeR is using WinRAR 3.80, it should be compatible. However, keep in mind that RAR 3.93 is "last" for DOS (obsolete). EMX is slightly buggy with 1+ GB machines (but RSX is slightly better), and its C++ (at least for DOS + OS/2 hybrid) is (probably still?) much much older than current/beta DJGPPs.

I have no idea if UnRAR still compiles with DJGPP (IIRC it used to need /backwards/ from G++ 4.2.3 or older). I guess I should try, I like compiling (but I hate when stuff doesn't work!). UnRAR 4.x added a lot of Unicode stuff (presumably unfriendly to DJGPP), and latest sources for UnRAR are unrarsrc-5.0.10.tar.gz. Latest RAR is either 4.20 or 5.00 beta 8. IIRC 5.0 format changed compression incompatibly again, so caveat emptor.

(dumb answer) Maybe RayeR should just use .7z!
