File archive compressed by WinAce; uses a proprietary compression algorithm that offers a high compression ratio and fast compression speed.
This is a compressed archive in the TAR container with the help of the BZIP tool. It was created for use in Unix systems. The TAR container combines several files into one archive that’s placed in a TBZ compressed file. They’re used as installation packets in the installers of some operating systems.
