ACE is a compressed archive format. It was originally developed by Marcel Lemke, later by e-merge GmbH.
Related software includes Ace (for DOS, OS/2, and Windows console), UnAce, WinAce, XAce Plus, MacUnace, UnACE.DLL, ActiveACE, ACE Compression Library (ACL). At least one version of UnAce is open source.
Version 2 of the format introduced new compression schemes that are not supported by all ACE decompression software.
Split archives typically contains the extension .c<num><num>, where <num> is an integer that starts from 01, e.g. .c01.
