     Don't know about others but WinRAR distributive includes command line
RAR.EXE which works as Win32 console app and, of course, fully support LFN
and all RAR possibilities like 1M window for packing.

     If you wish then you can with help of DEXEM from HIEW package add
RAR/16 as stub for abovementioned RAR/32 and get executable which

- works under DOS and Windows in native mode for each;
- support LFN and big packing window under Windows.

     This mean ZIP have case sensitive options. Don't know how it is for
ZIP, but PKZIP, for example, differs -j and -J, where -J have reverse
function for -j.
