      Per http://www.rararchiver.com:

      “The RAR Archiver (“RAR (as in car) Ar-Ky-Ver”) is a general purpose archiving and compression program competing with / replacing programs such as PKZip, ARJ and others. RAR also offers significantly improved compression ratios, easier use, lower price, support for long file names, disk spanning and self-extracting archives.
      ”

      Further info about this util and file format can be foound at that site. http://www.rararchiver.com has WinRAR available for download.
