I have received a > couple files before in .rar format but most often they are .zip. According to www.rarlab.com : ------------------------- 3. RAR versus ZIP Comparing to ZIP file format, RAR provides a number of advanced features: more convenient multipart (multivolume) archives, tight compression including special solid, multimedia and text modes, strong AES-128 encryption, recovery records helping to repair an archive even in case of physical data damage, Unicode support to process non-English file names and a lot more. ------------------------- You don't have to pay extra fees for SFX (self extacting) modules. It also can create .zip files. Among good features, on the fly text or file search in an archive, benchmark feature, creating profiles for groups of various compression settings, creating recovery records, creating volumes (parts). You can create solid archives, which all data treated as a single stream. This could increase compression when compressing similar files. ZIP doesn't have this feature... In my opinion, it is much better than WinZip. -- Best regards, Zeynel :flag-turkey: Running The Bat! v3.0.2.10 Translation of Turkish The Bat! ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
