What is SHAR file format?

SHAR files are compressed archives created by Unix Shell Archive Program. They can store multiple files in one archive and compress them with a shell script. This script allows the files to be recreated by running a command. SHAR files are different from other archivers because they need the UNIX Bourne shell to work properly. They are also called self extracting compressed files. SHAR files are text files that can create other compression utilities. They are command-line driven programs that need a specific SHAR command to execute. SHAR files can also copy the functions of a UNIX script, making them important shell scripts. To unpack SHAR files, type “sh filename.shar”.

To open a .shar file, double-click it and Windows will launch the right application. If not, you may have to download or buy the correct application. Or you may have to set up the file associations correctly. This means telling Windows which application to use for .shar files. Once you do that, opening a .shar file will open the correct application.

What is MHT file format?

MHT, short for MHTML (MIME HTML), is a web archive format developed by Microsoft for saving web pages, including images, audio and videos. It combines HTML content, images and other media into a single file, which can be shared and viewed in a web browser either online or offline. The files are compressed in the same way as ZIP files and use the .mht extension. The MHT file format is sometimes used as an alternative to PDF documents, as it allows all the web page elements to be preserved, as well as access to external content such as images and videos. It also offers a degree of protection from malicious content as the MHT file can be scanned for viruses before opening. MHT files provide an easy way to share web content without relying on a web server, or without losing any of the formatting information or embedded multimedia in the original web page. This makes them particularly useful for preserving webpages and sharing them with others, either through email or file sharing services.
