- Description
- An ARC archive is a compressed file archive from the MS-DOS and bulletin-board era, made by SEA's ARC program; unrelated to Norton backup files that also use .arc.
- A RAR file is an archive that contains one or more files compressed with RAR compression. It uses a higher compression ratio than typical ZIP compression and incorporates a proprietary compression algorithm that is now used by other compressors, including 7-Zip for its .7Z files. RAR files may be extracted using a variety of programs.
