This is what I use for viewable files..

unrar -la -cfg- %f and unrar t -cfg- %f for testing files.

I have this for extractable files..

unrar x -cfg- -cu %f %s %g

... Enter that again, just a little slower.

Mine doesn't have the %@ in front. I was just testing and it worked without it so I left it that way. I forget off the top of my head what %@ transaltes to.. so I'll have to look that up and see if it should be there.

%@ expands to your configured "exec" directory on Windows and nothing (blank) on *nix.

so it is preferrable to have it than not? that way if you switch from one OS to another it won't break and have you scratching your head as to why ;)

It depends on whether you want to rely on the OS's search path or not for the program in question to be executed. With Windows installs, we usually have zip/unzip/etc. executables in the Synchronet exec directory and execute them from there (not relying on any OS search path), but on *nix, we use the OS's search path to find the installed zip/unzip/etc. Mainly this is because '.' is by default, in the search path on Windows (which is kind of a security issue we prefer to avoid) and it is not on *nix.
