RAX

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RAX - Romanian Archiver Expert written by Sabin Belu from GeCAD s.r.l. is a fast and compact data archiving program which uses his own 'RAX' compression/decompression engine written entirely in 80286 assembly, so it runs faster than many other archivers written in high level languages. It uses a compression method based on sliding window dictionary plus static huffman encoding, similar to LHA/PKZIP/ARJ, plus an advanced data prediction algorithm. It is able to compress by adding/moving the requested files or folders into an archive. This program is a loose imitation of RAR archiver which partially imitates Norton Commander.
