[edit] File Information
MAR files always contain exactly one item, either a single file or a folder and its contents (including subfolders). By convention archives that contain a file get the extension .MAC (this is basically equivalent to a MacBinary file) and archives that contain a folder get the extension .MAR. It is the same file format, though.[2]
[edit] Format Information
MAR file will begin with the hex values 4D415280.
