The RAR Archiver - version 2.02
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 a NEW, optional, compression algorithm highly optimized
for multimedia data.
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 offers the ability to create and change SFX archives using
default and external SFX modules.
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.
