-
- The RAR Archiver - version 1.55
-
- RAR features:
-
- o RAR introduces a NEW and original compression algorithm. It
- allows higher compression ratios than other PC archiving tools,
- especially on executable files, Object libraries, large text
- files, etc.
-
- o RAR offers NEW facilities and features such as a full-screen
- interactive interface utilising mouse and menus as well as the
- command line interface.
-
- o RAR provides functionality for creating a 'solid' archive, which
- can raise the compression ratio by 10% - 50% over more common
- methods, when packing large numbers of small files.
-
- o RAR gives the user, using the full-screen mode, the ability to
- manage non-RAR archives (.ZIP, .ARJ, .LZH). The user may view
- update, transform to self-extracting (SFX) archive, add and
- erase comments, specify temporary work directory, etc.
-
- o RAR offers the ability to create and change SFX archives using
- default and external SFX modules, e.g. the installation SFX.
-
- o RAR offers the ability to create multi-volume archive as SFX.
-
- o RAR offers a number of service functions, such as setting a
- password, adding archive and file comments. Damaged archives
- may be repaired and an archive may be locked to prevent further
- changes. Authenticity information may be added for additional
- security and RAR will store information on the last update and
- name of the archive.
-
- o RAR provides ANSI esc-sequence support in comments. This
- allows color comments and other ANSI features without the need
- for an ANSI-driver.
