Preamble:
aKu is simply a GUI with the aim of helping common
users in managing, creating, reading (..etc, etc)
RAR archives under KDE4.
RAR software is not compiling-time required but
should be present in your system to be able to
manage archives.
This software acts as a parser and makes you
simple (we hope) reading and creating RAR
archives.
