Hello,
I am trying to find a command line utility to unzip files on a box which has a windows Ce OS.

I looked for zipping utilities and what I was able to find was pocketRAR and unfortunately it is a GUI and that wont work for me because my OS image is headless.

Please if you know something which can help me that would be very appreciated.

I appreciate your response Nimmo but the problem is winrar is for windows xp, 2000,...etc.

Winrar is not compatible for wince, on the winrar official website there is an edition for winrar which works on wince, unfortunately I need to unrar that edition.

I have to unrar it on a wince Operating system because when I try to unrar it on it displays a message saying unable to find windows CE manager.

This really kills me "If I want a unrar utilty why do they give me that utility needing to be unrared"

I am wondering why you wouldn't just download winRAR to your PC and then unRAR the CE edition so you can install the .exe on your device.

I am developing a program which needs to unrar files and do with that file some stuff.

So, it has to be a rar version which works on a win CE OS.

Sorry, my explanation was not that good the problem is that the exe, which I need to unrar requires CE manager.

Meaning that the exe deoesent only need decompression but also needs to decompressed in a machine with wince.

If you know any other utility I can use please pass it by.

Thanks,
Mohy
