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.

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'.
