WinRAR is ideal for multimedia files. WinRAR automatically recognizes and selects the best compression method. The special compression algorithm compresses multimedia files, executables and object libraries particularly well.

WinRAR allows you to split archives into separate volumes easily, making it possible to save them on several disks for example.

WinRAR is also ideal, if you are sending data through the web. Its 128 bit password encryption and its authenticated signature technology will give you the peace of mind you have been looking for.

WinRAR is shareware, meaning you have the chance to thoroughly test it. The program can be used absolutely free of charge for 40 days!

WinRAR licenses are valid for all available language and platform versions. If you have purchased several licenses, you can even mix versions to meet your own personal needs.

WinRAR gives you all future UPDATES for FREE! Not like the competition that will make you pay again every one or two years.Features:

1. Archive names in rar.log error log file always include the full path.

2. WinRAR tray icon is compatible with high DPI display modes.

3. If you modified a file in archive with encrypted names using an external editor, WinRAR will not ask for archive password again when prompting to update a file. It will use a password which you entered when opening an archive,

4. Bugs fixed:

a) switch -tl and "Set archive time to latest file time" option could fail in previous version. Sometimes they set archive time to current system time instead of latest file time;

b) if -ag switch mask contained archive number, month and minute characters, WinRAR placed 'I' character instead of minute value into generated archive name for archive numbers exceeding 1;

c) high ASCII names in ISO files using ISO 9660 format without Joliet format extension were displayed incorrectly;

d) WinRAR could crash when decompressing some of corrupt RAR archives;

e) if "Turn PC off when done" option was set in "Convert archives" command, WinRAR turned PC off after converting the first archive in selected group instead of after converting the entire group;

f) if user specified a non-existent destination path in SFX archive in Vista, SFX could enter into infinite "create new SFX window" loop;

g) WinRAR could fail to unpack an individual file from subfolder of ACE archive using the drag and drop.

New WinRAR 3.80

 1. Added support for ZIP archives containing Unicode file names
      in UTF-8 format. When creating ZIP archive, WinRAR stores
      names in Unicode only if they cannot be stored correctly using
      the current single byte character set.

   2. Added decompression support for WinZip AES encrypted ZIP archives.

   3. Improved Unicode support for RAR and ZIP archive names.

   4. "Ask before overwrite" and "Skip existing files" update modes
are now available in archiving dialog. They allow to specify
WinRAR behavior when updating already existing files in archive.
Unlike already available "Fresh existing files only" and
"Add and update files", these new modes ignore file date
and compare only file names.

      Command line equivalents of these modes are:

      a) switch -o enables "Ask before overwrite" archiving mode;

      b) switch -o- enables "Skip existing files" archiving mode;

      c) switch -o+ enables "Overwrite all" mode (default for archiving).

   5. New "Add to context menu" option in "Profile parameters" dialog.
If this option is on, the profile name will be displayed in Explorer
context menus allowing to activate a profile from context menu.

   6. New -cp switch allows to select a compression profile
in command line mode. It is supported only by GUI WinRAR.exe,
not by rar.exe.
