Mac OS X readers include Stuffit Expander, The Unarchiver and Zipeg. Third party programs that can only read (unpack) RAR files include: WinZip (Windows), RarZilla (Windows), 7-Zip (multiplatform), IZArc (Windows), PeaZip (Windows, Linux), Zipeg (Windows, Mac OS X), ALZip (Windows), along with the free version of unrar (which is available for Linux and FreeBSD). RAR for Pocket PC is the only freeware for creating RAR files. RAR files may be created only with commercial software WinRAR, RAR, and software that has permission from the licensor, Alexander Roshal (Eugene's brother). Version 3 has eliminated the need for third party post-processing. Version 1 and 2 archive files were often used in conjunction with a parchive file archiver to create parity files for error recovery when using less-than-perfect file transmission and storage media such as newsgroups, satellite transmission, and optical discs. In previous versions, if a RAR-archive was broken into many smaller files (a "multi-volume archive"), then the smaller files used the extensions. It was developed by a Russian software engineer, Eugene Roshal (the first letter of his surname contributing to the name of the archive format), and is currently licensed by win.rar GmbH. It is a non-documented archive file format that supports data compression, error recovery, and file spanning.
