Sorry, you missed one point: Info-Zip is FREE and RAR is shareware...
I had a little experience with RAR because of you (Arkady) because you
use
it to distribute ctmouse and I didn't like it. I also don't see why you
use
a comercial archiever to distribute a free software !!!

I am aware of case sensitivity (it has been so since the first pkzip I
know of).
What I cannot figure out is the diffentence specificaly between "-r"and
"-R"
in Info-Zip's zip.exe.
