WinRAR is a 32-bit version of RAR, the powerful archive manager. RAR files can normally compress files up to 10 percent more than ZIP or ARJ files.
New features include added extraction only support of BZIP2, JAR (Java ARchive) and ACE 2.0 formats, the possibility to use full file paths such as d:pathname in the exclude lists and -x switch when archiving, option "Append archive name to path" in the "Settings/Compression" dialog, new "E" parameter for -ag switch denotes a day of year and processing of more archive formats (TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, CAB, ARJ, and LZH archives).
What"s New:
- Previous beta could fail to create high ASCII folder names, when unpacking RAR archive in non-Unicode operating systems(Windows 9x).
- Some of truncated GZIP archives caused the previous beta to stop responding.
