- Description
- A TAR.Z file is a Unix TAR archive compressed with a standard Unix compression algorithm to save disk space. It contains one or more compressed files. The file is commonly used on Unix operating systems to archive groups of files.
- The ARJ Compressed File Archive (.arj) is a file format used for data compression and archiving. Developed in the early 1990s by Robert Jung, ARJ stands for "Archived by Robert Jung". The format allows for efficient compression of files, supporting multi-volume archives, which means a large archive can be split into several smaller files for easier management and distribution. It also supports a high level of encryption for secure data storage.
