high compression ratios on executable files, object libraries,

can raise the compression ratio by 10% - 50% over more common
methods, particularly when packing large numbers of small files.

* RAR offers the ability to create and change SFX archives using
default and external SFX modules.

* RAR offers the ability to create a multi-volume archive as SFX.

adding archive comments and repairing physically damaged archives.
