CAR is a compressed archive utility, and associated file format, developed by MylesHi! Software / Chris Campbell.
Identification
This applies to the CAR files produced by version 1.50, which was the first release, and the only one we know of.
CAR format is very similar to LHA format, but it has the header fields in a different order, making it completely incompatible. Unfortunately, there appears to be no simple way to distinguish the formats.
For CAR format:
- ASCII "
-lh5-" or "-lh0-" appears at offset 2 - {the byte value at offset 0} = {the byte value at offset 15} + 25
- bytes
0x20 0x00 0x00appear at offset {{the byte value at offset 15} + 24}

Software
