edit info

RAR is a general purpose archiving and compression program competing with/replacing programs such as PKZip, ARJ and others. RAR offers significantly improved compression ratios, easier use and a better price as well as supporting long file names, disk spanning and self-extracting file creation. RAR introduces an original compression algorithm. It allows higher compression ratios than other PC archiving tools, especially on executable files, Object libraries, large text files, etc.   [edit]

    Not Open-Source
    an anonymous user

    rar binaries are available for linux and bsd, but rar format is proprietary and winrar is a classic shareware model, not open-source. It shouldn't be called an OpenSource Application in Ostatic.


    On the other hand the far file-manager is now opensource, but windows only. NC clone.

    Better compressions available
    osafw

    There are better compression algorithms than RAR and equally better file managers than that in the open source world.


    7zip can very easily replace WinRAR!
