RAR — Roshal ARchive
documentRAR is a proprietary archive format created by Eugene Roshal, widely used for distributing large files — particularly software, games, and media — often split across multiple volumes. While extraction is free (via WinRAR, 7-Zip, or The Unarchiver), creating RAR archives requires the proprietary WinRAR software.
