5.0 – supported by WinRAR 5.0 (released April 2013) and later. [7] Changes in this version: Maximum compression dictionary size increased to 1 GB (default for WinRAR 5.x is 32 MB and 4 MB for WinRAR 4.x). Maximum path length for files in RAR and ZIP archives is increased up to 2048 characters. Support for Unicode file names stored in UTF-8 ...

File extension(s) [a] MIME type [b] Official name [c] Platform [d] Description .a, .ar application/x-archive Unix Archiver: Unix-like The traditional archive format on Unix-like systems, now used mainly for the creation of static libraries.
The operating systems the archivers can run on without emulation or compatibility layer. Ubuntu's own GUI Archive manager, for example, can open and create many archive formats (including Rar archives) even to the extent of splitting into parts and encryption and ability to be read by the native program.
The order matters (these operations do not commute), and the latter is solid compression. In Unix, compression and archiving are traditionally separate operations, which allows one to understand this distinction: Compressing individual files and then archiving would be a tar of gzip-compressed files – this is very uncommon.
Thus, a representation that compresses the storage size of a file from 10 MB to 2 MB yields a space saving of 1 - 2/10 = 0.8, often notated as a percentage, 80%. For signals of indefinite size, such as streaming audio and video, the compression ratio is defined in terms of uncompressed and compressed data rates instead of data sizes:
ADDED LATER I've had a reply from WinRar to the effect that Itanium compression only is supported, and that they "tested it with x86-64 exe and it does not affect its compression". Following up, I find that enabling 64-bit Itanium compression alone indeed makes no difference at all; file sizes are exactly the same as without executable and ...
