    Sorry, no can do. They don't make a Shareware RAR anymore. The 5.50 version only works for 40 days then you're screwed. I have NO issues with any other RAR

    archive hatched into Filegate. If you can't fix this I will have to delete your

    archive. :(

    Ok, I did manage to find a freeware version of UnRAR v5.50 which will access your archive, but it is missing a File_ID.Diz which my system depends on for proper updating of file directory indices (also a Filegate requirement). Please

    add one (MAX 10 lines x45 characters per line) and re-hatch. Thanks.

    Did think it was there but it is now for FM80316F.RAR - just hatched.

    The file is 'FILE_ID.DIZ' to comply with dos systems.
