What is a(n) PAR file??

The PAR file extension is a special type of index file used in Parchive software. It is a multi-platform archive format that can be read by many different kinds of programs including WinZip, 7zip, and Parchive.

Parchive software was developed by PKWARE Inc. in 1987 and it is used to create archives for almost all major operating systems such as Windows, Mac, Linux, and even DOS. Because the PAR file extension is an index file that has information about the files included in the archive, you can open up a .PAR file with any program that supports the format without having to download them first.

The .PAR index allows users to quickly and easily locate archived files on their hard drives or removable media such as USB drives or CD-ROMs without having to sort through
