SAR (Streamline Arching Utility, or Streamline Archival Utility) is a compressed archive utility, and associated file format. It was developed by Streamline Design Company, and distributed as shareware.
[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'.
[edit] Software
- SAR v1.00 (DOS software)
