WinRAR introduces an original compression algorithm. It allows
higher compression ratios than other
PC archiving tools, especially for
executable files, object libraries,
large text files, etc.
* WinRAR offers an optional
compression algorithm highly
optimized for multimedia data.
* WinRAR supports files and archives
up to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
bytes in size, about 9000PB. The
number of archived files is unlimited
for all practical purposes.
* WinRAR provides complete support for RAR and ZIP 2.0 archives
and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2,
JAR,ISO, Z, 7Z archives.
* WinRAR supports NTFS file security and data streams.
* WinRAR offers both a classic interactive Windows interface and
the command line interface.
* WinRAR provides functionality for creating a 'solid' archive, which
can raise the compression ratio by 10% - 50% over more common
methods, particularly when packing large numbers of small files.
* WinRAR offers the ability to create and change SFX archives
using default and external SFX modules.
* WinRAR offers the ability to create a multi-volume archive as
SFX.
* WinRAR offers a number of service functions, such as setting a
password, adding archive and file comments. Even physically
damaged archives may be repaired and an archive may be locked
to prevent further changes. Authenticity information may be
added for additional security and WinRAR will store information
on the last update and name of the archive.Winrar.EXE
