Re: RAR FILE ???

RAR files were created for Usenet, just FYI.

That have superior spanning ability, meaning you can split one file into many files. This was helpful to overcome some usenet severs' line-limits per message. RARs are still heavily used on usenet, and also, to some extent, PAR files which can help re-create the complete RAR file if part of the RAR is missing from the usenet sever.
