WinRAR 5.60 + Medicine - Printable Version

WinRAR is an advanced data compression utility that supports a wide array of formats, including RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z, and 7-Zip. It enables you to create, organize, and manage archives in a comfortable and quick manner.

Quality compression and multiple disk spanning

The application proposes an advanced approach to compression, which entails creating small archives to save disk space as well as to enable faster file sharing. Audio and graphics files benefit from a special archiving algorithm that doesn't sacrifice quality.
It's also possible to split archives into several smaller volumes to spread them across multiple devices and easily transfer them onto other computers, which is particularly practical when attempting to compress very large files.

Advanced features for compression and decompression

The available security tools are designed to password-protect archives and optionally encrypt file names to add an extra layer of safety. Meanwhile, the application can be asked to verify archive integrity as well as attempt repairing damaged or corrupt archives.
Expert users can configure settings concerning the preferred compression method, dictionary size, file update mode, self-extracting archives, recovery records in case of data loss, archive locking, NTFS symbolic and hard links, and many other aspects.
Files can be backed up before compiling them into archives while virus scans can be executed before extracting files from the archives so that you don’t expose your computer to any risks whatsoever.
