Garc archive (.GAR) is a compressed archive format associated with Garc, a raster graphics utility developed by John Callicotte. It contains files in certain standard image formats, such as GIF, BMP, and TGA.
[edit] Discussion
Only Garc v1.x supports .GAR files. In v2.x, archives became collections of image files stored in an Access database. In v3.x, the archive features were dropped.
Garc v1.x is a menu-driven DOS program, distributed as shareware. Later versions are for Windows.
Garc lists its website as <http://sound.net/~johnc/garc.html>, but no archives of it seem to exist.
[edit] Identification
.GAR files created by Garc v1.0 start with ASCII "Garc1.0". Files from v1.1 start with "Garc1.1".
[edit] Software
Following items are listed for reference, but don't support .GAR format.
- Garc v2.0 (32-bit Windows GUI)
- Garc v3.01 (32-bit Windows GUI)
