Binaries of the dar archiver for Mac OS X

The version of dar currently provided here is 2.3.1. You can choose from three varieties:

Dynamic
This variety includes all the dar tools: dar, dar_cp, dar_manager, dar_slave and dar_xform. It uses minimal disk space, but the shared library libdar64.4.dylib must always be kept in the same directory as the executables.
Portable
This also includes all the tools. It doesn't require the shared library, but uses much more disk space.
Minimal portable
This is just the main dar archiver from the portable variety, without the other tools.

Each variety comes in two compatibility types:

10.4+ universal
Compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 and higher on both PPC and Intel. This version supports Mac-specific data such as resource forks.
10.1+
Compatible with Mac OS X 10.1.5 and higher on PPC only (Intel only under Rosetta). Backing up or restoring with this version will cause resource forks and other Mac-specific data will be lost.
