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.
- File archive compressed with both .TAR and .BZ2 compression; often found on Unix systems; must first be decompressed (using Bzip 2 decompression), then the files must be extracted from the tar archive.
