Excuse me, but “vast” size of WinRAR’s user base? I didn’t know WinRAR even had any users left.
I used it last time around… 15 years ago to apply VKP patches on my Sony Ericsson phones :P like making my K750i into a ‘W750i’ with W800i software, adding GFX and Acoustic patches…

Well, even FAR manager which they’ve open-souced long time ago is still maintained 😀 Good thing they didn’t discover this bug in 2000s!
Ah, FAR manager.

I’m still using sweet FAR Manager, absolute baller of a software.
