    About WinRar

    WinRAR is one of the few applications that is able to create RAR archives natively, because the encoding method is held to be proprietary.
    It includes the following features: complete support for RAR (WinRAR native conversion format), ZIP archives, and it can also unpack ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, EXE, 7z, and Z archives. WinRAR also includes multithreaded compression and it allows you to create self-extracting or multi-volume (split) archives. Optionally, the archives can be encrypted using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a 128-bit key.
