Now it is possible to extract RAR and 7z files on you Palm handheld. All you need is the Palm Java VM which is available here and the Java application MobileRAR. At first you must Hotsync the Java VM to your device. If no Hotsync is available for you, you can try the WebSphere JVM Installer v1.0. So that MR is able to work, you need an additional file (fileconnect.prc), which can be found in the folder “JSR75″ in the Java VM installation archive.
Then install MobileRAR via the VM installation assistent or use this PRC file: Mobile RAR PRC. Now you should be able to extract RAR, 7z and ZIP files with Mobile RAR:

For every archive, MobileRAR creates a folder in which the content will be copied. E.g. the archive is located at /palm/MobileRAR/Archive.rar it will copy the content to /palm/MobileRAR/Archive.

I found your entry interesting so I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog
…
The MobileRAR program doesn’t work at my Treo 680 with the new installed MIDP 2.0 Websphere JVM.
Others like Opera or RSS Feeds are working very well. :-/
So i have use my Resco Explorer when i wont zip or unzip packages.
My Tungsten C also can’t run it…
What are your errors?
After the question, white screen and no reaction.
error message with tile: Throwable
and message: javax.microedition.io.file.FileSystemRegistry
details are:
at.Main.getlist(Unknown Source) …. init the same message
at java.lang.Class.newInstanceImpl(Native Method) and so on
I’ve saved it a memo … if somebody is interested in knowing more about the full exception list.
Did you install the fileconnect.prc as mentioned in the article? Without it it won’t run and you will get the error message you described.
Oh … thx, the text was to long for me and so i didn’t read it. :-/
So i will install it also.
I installed the fileconnect.prc and mobilerar (I tried both using PRC and using java installer) and after asking to get access to files I just get a white screen with a hanged palm
worked perfectly on my t5
works great on my TX too.
my zire 72 doesnt seem to work for ibm websphere the mobile raar keep saying please ensure ibm websphere is installed or something like that

Just tried MobileRAR on my T5. It has some problems! It did not unzip zip files, it did extract .rar files but it seems that some files (.prc files) get extracted with zero file length! Do not know if the .rar files I tested were bad or there is a bug in the MobileRAR pgm.
