WinRAR is a shareware file archiver and data compression utility developed by Eugene Roshal and distributed by Alexander Roshal,[3] first released in autumn of 1993.[4] It is one of the few applications that is able to create RAR archives natively, because the encoding method is held to be proprietary. Command-line versions, simply called "RAR", exist for Mac OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD.Features :
- Complete support for RAR (WinRAR native conversion format) and ZIP archives, and unpacking of ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, EXE, 7z, Z and xz archives.
- Multithreaded compression
- The ability to create self extracting and multi-volume archives.
- Data redundancy is provided via recovery records volumes, allowing reconstruction of damaged archives.
- Support for advanced NTFS file system options and unicode in file names.
- Optional archive encryption using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a 256-bit key.
In the past a portable version of winRAR called WinRAR Unpluged existed. It didn't require installation, nor did it create dependencies on the host computer.-source wikipedia.
