Answer 1

WinRAR cannot be used from the command line, use RAR instead.

rar.exe (unlike WinRAR) cannot be used to create a zip archive.

for all possible RAR commands and switches refer to help (rar /?)

but here's how to use zip and unzip on the windows command line.

Answer 2

Though I found no documentation for it, I did manage to use winrar from the command line. I used the following syntax:

winrar a archiveName file1 file2 ....

to create an archive, and

winrar x archiveName

to extract the files from it in the current directory.
