MacPAR deLuxe is a utility program that runs on Mac OS X. It helps you if you upload and download binary files to and from Internet newsgroups.

Its main functions are:

• Verify the completeness of downloaded data, and repair missing parts, by means of so called "par" and "par2" files
• Unpack data from a RAR archive (most of the files in newsgroups are compressed with RAR)
• Automatically start an external program (such as Stuffit Expander) to unpack downloaded files
• Automatically cooperates with Loek Jehee's Split & Concat

Features:

• Full support for the "par 1" and "par 2" standards
• Perform verification, recovery and automatic unRAR (if applicable) by just double-clicking the ".par" or ".par2" file in the Finder
• Get a clear overview of the status of all files
• Create a par or par2 volume set by dragging files to the window and simply save the document
• Open a rar archive and unpack the files inside
• Can automatically start an external program to process files in the par set
• Can open multiple windows and run multiple jobs at the same time
• Alternatively, multiple jobs can be queued and processed one after the other, to save machine overhead
• Many configurable options
• Fully compatible with "other" par and rar utilities
