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.
Format details
SAR appears to be based on generalized LHA format. Its not clear if SAR's " LH5 " compression scheme is identical to the standard "-lh5-" scheme, but it's at least very similar.
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'.
Software
- SAR v1.00 (DOS software)
