I think you hear about RAR (Roshal Archive), it's developed by Eugene Roshal on 1993, RAR is used for reduces file sizes more effectively than standard ZIP (Zipped Information Package) files, it's saving space and making large downloads easier to manage, even we can encrypt any files protected with passwords to secure our sensitive or important data, it's very easily to share bunch of data with a single file with RAR.
