My wish is Linux's RAR format support can be better, that the RAR files

I mentioned FileRoller above: actually I don't know what application
fileroller called to create rar files, I have tried in SuSE 10.2 both
rar 3.60 (Shareware version of Alexander Roshal) and rar 2.71 (Shareware
version of Eugene Roshal), both cannot create RAR that contain readable
filename on Windows.

So, the only method that works from linux to windows is mkisofs? Too bad.

I thought that the shareware version of rar in linux would work. I tried
it time ago when I started using linux, back in 1998, but I found it
lacking compared to the dos/win version. I hoped it would be better
nowdays.

There is another option you might try: winrar in linux under wine. If
winrar doesn't run, then one of the older dos version, perhaps.

Another method: copy file in linux partition to a vfat partition using a
windows charset that works, then compress from there. You have to steps to
check: first, that when copying to vfat, that the vfat is correctly
readable in a windows machine (correct charset, you may have to play with
fstab); second the compression step. My hope is that the first step
corrects the charset used.
