What's a RAR file, you ask? Well, it's a
roshal
archive
file, of course. Originally developed in 1995, Eugene Roshal's
compression software, WinRAR, has emerged from back channels in recent
years to become the most popular archiving software on the site. The
term "WinRAR" has even become Internet slang for "winner." The RAR file
became popular with multimedia users for its better compression ratio
for certain music and photo file types, and the shareware WinRAR
application itself has evolved into full-featured archive software.
Despite the explosion in popularity, WinRAR is still developed by Eugene
Roshal. His brother Alexander runs the business side of Win.rar GMBH.
