- Description
- An archive file format that uses lossless data compression LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain) algorithm and incorporates 32-bit CRC checksum to check data integrity of the file. Lzip supports greater compression ratios than bzip2.
- 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.
