This archive contains the RAR multifunctional integrated archive manager
The RAR Archiver - version 2.06
RAR features:
o RAR introduces an 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 an optional, compression algorithm highly optimized
for multimedia data.
o RAR offers new facilities and features such as a full-screen
interactive interface utilizing 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, particularly 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 a multi-volume archive as SFX.
o RAR 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 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.
