[edit] Format details

SAR appears to be based on generalized LHA format. It's not clear if SAR's " LH5 " compression scheme is identical to the standard "-lh5-" scheme, but it's at least very similar.

[edit] Identification

SAR files apparently have bytes 0x20 'L' 'H' ?? 0x20 at offset 2. Possible values for the "??" byte include, but might not be limited to, '0' and '5'.
