Powerful command line archiver and archive manager

RAR files can usually compress content 8 to 30 percent better than ZIP files. RAR's main features are very strong general and multimedia compression, long filename support, programmable self-extracting archives (SFX), damaged archive repair, authenticity verification, embedded file comments, and encryption.

RAR also includes a support for parity volumes and missing volume replacement, support of "Find" commands and industry standard encryption using 128-bit keys.

The command line version RAR is also available for Linux, DOS, OS/2, FreeBSD and MAC OS X.

No need to purchase add-ons to create self-extracting files, it's all included.

Unlike the competition RAR has already integrated the ability to create and change SFX archives (.exe files) using default and external SFX modules. So when you purchase RAR license you are buying a license for the complete technology.

One price, one payment, once. All future UPDATES for FREE.

It has always been our policy not to charge our customers for improvements we make to RAR. So our registered users will receive all future UPGRADES for FREE.
