WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. RAR files can usually compress content by 8 percent to 15 percent more than ZIP files can. WinRAR is a powerful compression tool with many integrated additional functions to help you organize your compressed archives. It can backup your data and reduce size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format.

WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression. By consistently creating smaller archives, WinRAR is often faster than the competition. This will save you disc space, transmission costs AND valuable working time as well. 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.

Version 3.91



1. This version can decompress 7-Zip archives created with

LZMA2 algorithm.



2. Now a password is requested only once when unpacking 7z archives

with encrypted file names from context menu. WinRAR 3.90 asked it

twice.



3. This version can unpack tar.bz2 archives consisting of several

smaller bz2 streams merged together. Previous versions unpacked

only the first nested bz2 stream in such composite archive.



4. WinRAR displays CRC32 of files inside of usual .gz (not .tar.gz)

archives. Previous versions left this field blank for GZIP files.



5. Bugs fixed:



a) WinRAR 3.90 displayed "Save" button instead of "Open" or "OK"

in "Find archive" dialog ("Open archive" command in "File" menu

and "Browse..." command in archiving dialog);



b) WinRAR could display incorrect file names when browsing malformed

ZIP archives;



c) WinRAR 3.90 failed to decompress LZH archives created with

"-lh7-" algorithm;



d) WinRAR 3.90 could fail to delete a part of files after archiving

if delete to Recycle Bin was enabled. This bug was present

when working in Windows XP, but not in Windows Vista and Windows 7;



e) when unpacking ISO file using WinRAR "Extract files..." command

in Explorer context menu, WinRAR could unpack same archived files

twice during the same operation. It displayed the overwrite prompt

when unpacking files for the second time;



f) hexadecimal search in WinRAR 3.90 "Find" command and console RAR

"ih" command failed to find matches if first byte in search string

was greater than 127.
