What is a(n) A00 file?

The A00 (Split Multi-volume ARJ Compressed Format Archive (part 2)) file format is a computer file format used for compressing multiple files into a single archive package. It is based on the well-known ARJ compression algorithm, and is most commonly used to transfer large files over the internet. It is also used to store large amounts of data in a single file, allowing multiple programs to access the same data without taking up too much storage space.

A00 files are composed of several components, including a header file, a subdirectory that stores specific information about each file in the archive, and a trailer file that contains a checksum to make sure that the package has been properly created and decompressed. The minimum size for an A00 file is two com-pressed sector units per volume, but larger archives may be composed of multiple volumes, each with its own subdirectory.
