RAR is a powerful tool allowing you to manage and control archive files. Console RAR supports archives only in RAR format, which names usually have a ".rar" extension.

Here are some key features of "RAR":
Highly sophisticated, original compression algorithm
Special compression algorithms optimized for text, audio, graphics data, 32 and 64-bit Intel executables
Better compression than similar tools, using 'solid' archiving
Authenticity verification (registered version only)
Self-extracting archives and volumes (SFX)
Ability to recover physically damaged archives
Locking, password, file order list, file security & more.

What's New:
New 'ch' (change archive parameters) command line mode command. Its purpose is to apply switches like -av, -tl and -cl to archive. (b1)
New command line -sl and -sm switches to set size limits of processing files. (b1)
7Z added to list of formats stored without compression when using -ms switch without a parameter. (b1)
Switch -e[+] is now supported by most of command line operations including extracting and deleting files. Previously it was supported by only archiving command. (b1).
