The main advantage of RAR is a highly effective compression, provided both by the efficiency of the algorithm and the ability to compress the files in the archive as a single data stream. The compression quality of this format is superior to ZIP, and for some types of data it is very noticeable. This format was developed by Eugene Roshal. TAR format comes to rescue here, which does not support data compression, but allows you to combine several different files inside. If GZIP cannot pack several files into one archive, this does not mean that users of UNIX systems do not need to create archives from several files. In terms of compression quality, GZIP also cannot compete with more modern formats, but it does not really need it as in the UNIX world, this format is as common as ZIP in everything else. This format is widespread in the world of UNIX systems, it does not support anything except, in fact, compression. GZ (GZIP, GNU ZIP) uses the same file compression algorithm as regular ZIP. The main plus of ZIP is its ubiquity and support even by those programs that have an indirect relation to archives. The format supports splitting archives into parts, password protection, adding comments. Today it is already difficult to imagine life without this archive format. The name of the most popular archive format in the world began its long life with PKWare. Below you will find the main reasons to compress files on Mac computers. Another useful feature of many archivers is the ability to set a password for the created archive, after which the user will not be able to open any of the files contained in the archive and, moreover, will not be able to extract these files from it. Thanks to the compression methods, archivers allow reducing the size of files that are added to them. The archiver is a program for the simultaneous packaging of one or any other number of files in order to conveniently copy, send, and store them.
