This is an OS/2 EMX port of the command line version of the program from http://parchive.sourceforge.net/
>From the readme file "par2cmdline is a program for creating and using PAR2 files to detect damage in data files and repair them if necessary. It can be used with any kind of file. ".
It's used frequently on various binary newsgroups in order to reconstruct partial or corrupted downloads.
I made no source changes to this to make it work - all effort was put into making it compile! If you find a bug in this, go grab the source and fix it yourself!!
