Description:
WinRAR archiver is a powerful tool allowing you to manage and control archive files.
It supports: RAR and ZIP 2.0 archives, special algorithms optimized
for text, audio, graphics, 32-bit and 64-bit Intel executables compression. You can handle archives directly from Windows Explorer due to the shell integration including drag-and-drop facility and cascaded context menus. WinRAR features wizards for
beginners and command line interface for advanced users. It can handle non RAR archives (7-Zip, ACE, ARJ, BZ2, CAB, GZ, ISO, JAR, LZH, TAR, UUE, Z, GZip) management, solid archiving which can raise compression ratio by 10% - 50% over more common methods,
particularly when packing a large number of small, similar files.
Using WinRAR you can create multi-volume archives, self-extracting archives (also multivolume) using the default or optional SFX
modules. You can use a lot of service functions, such as encryption, archive comments, error logging, etc. The program has
an inbuilt viewer for viewing the content of text files within archives. You can create compression profiles in order to optimize
your activity.
It has a very friendly user interface, so that the menus are customizable and offer access to important archive commands (like
extract, test, comment, protect, lock), but also other important tools such as scan, convert or benchmark and hardware test.
It allows you to test, lock and repair/recover physically damaged
archives or volumes allowing to reconstruct missing parts of
multi-volume archives. You can also take advantage of miscellaneous
options such as Background archiving, turn PC off when done,
compression estimation.
Among the new features we may mention: new buttons (options) such
as: "Define volume sizes...", "Rename automatically",
"Multithreading" option added to "Benchmark and hardware test"
command, new command lines, increased compression speed (5 -15%)
for some data types. The publisher states that they fixed some bugs
in the multithreaded text compression algorithm.
WinRAR is easier to use than many other archivers with the inclusion of a special "Wizard" mode which allows instant access to the basic archiving functions through a simple question and answer procedure. This avoids confusion in the early stages of use.WinRAR supports files and archives up to 8,589 billion gigabytes in size. The number of archived files is, for all practical purposes, unlimited. The speed versus the rate of compression came out as medium compared to WinAce and WinZip: a directory containing multimedia
and text files in total size of 104 Mb compressed at a normal rate by WinRar resulted in a 64 Mb in 51 seconds compared to 76,2 Mb in 17 seconds for WinZip and 64,2 Mb in 1 minute and 11 seconds for WinAce.
A good compression over a quite short
archiving time sets WinRAR in a very good position among the well
known archivers. The program is a very good and reliable archiving solution.
