Epsilon Award© Hall of Fame
2008: WinRAR
win.rar GmbH's WinRAR
Wins 2008 Epsilon Award for Software Excellence
Berlin, Germany - win.rar GmbH's WinRAR was named the winner of the 2008
Epsilon Award at the eighth annual European Software Conference. Each year,
The Epsilon Award recognizes the best software application from the European
software and microISV community. Programs are nominated and voted on by software
developers, a peer-review process that ensures that only the highest quality
software is considered for the award.
WinRAR is a powerful compression tool with many additional integrated functions
to help organize compressed archives. By consistently creating smaller archives,
WinRAR is often faster than the competition. This saves disc space, transmission
costs, and valuable working time.
WinRAR supports all popular compression formats, including RAR, ZIP, CAB,
ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip. It's easy to split archives
into separate volumes, making it convenient to save them on several disks.
The program's special compression algorithm for multimedia files results
in extraordinary compression of movies, music, executables, and object libraries.
WinRAR automatically recognizes and selects the best compression method.
With its emphasis on security, WinRAR is designed for sending compressed
data through the web. Its 128-bit password encryption and its authenticated
signature technology provide security and peace of mind.
New features in version 3.80 include added support for ZIP archives containing
Unicode files names in UTF-8 format, as well as Unicode support for RAR and
ZIP archive names. There is added decompression support for WinZip AES encrypted
ZIP archives. "Ask before overwrite" and "Skip existing files"
update modes are now available in the archiving dialog.
WinRAR runs under Windows, and costs $29(US) for a single-user license.
The WinRAR Value Pack, which includes physical delivery on CD and the Gold Support
Package, costs $46.24. For more information, or to download a 40-day trial version
of WinRAR 3.80, visit http://www.win-rar.com/.
