Information AboutAce (file Format) |
In Computing , ACE is a proprietary Data Compression archive File Format developed by e-merge GmbH. Supporters of ACE claim that it offers superior compression compared to the ZIP File Format , though at the cost of a lower compression speed. The file extension is .ace. The MIME -Type is application/x-ace-compressed. WinAce , maintained by e-merge GmbH, is used to decompress and manipulate ACE files under Microsoft Windows . There are also older versions of a program called "unace", that are licenced under the GPL but they can not extract ACE archives newer than version 2.0. Besides that, there are free decompression programs for many platforms (such as Mac OS X and Linux ), but they aren't Free Software , either, except for TUGZip which is available for Windows. NOTES ACE is sometimes used to distribute Pirated Software , as an alternative to RAR . SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
