<a name="ace_files_extraction"></a>PeaZip offers read-only
support
(open and extract / unizp ace files) for WinAce's ACE
archive format, providing a free
WinAce alternative utility to original closed source application for
opening
(list/browse content) and extracting .ace archives (<span
style="font-weight: bold;">unace</span>) under Windows
and Linux operating systems - including password protected ace archives.<br>
The software can also convert ACE files to any other write-supported
format (i.e. re-pack and convert existing ace file into zip, 7z, etc).<br>

<h3 style="font-weight: bold;"><big>What is an .ace file</big></h3>
<br>
<a name="what_is_ace_file"></a>ACE extension designates a
file archiving and
compression format developed by Marcel Lemke
for <span style="font-weight: bold;">WinAce</span>, a
shareware closed source software released as GUI program
for Microsoft Windows platform only (unace de-compressor is available
as command line tool both for Windows and Linux platforms) developed as
early alternative to
PKZip / WinZip ZIP format.<br>
<br>
<br>
<h3 style="font-weight: bold;"><big>Features of .ace file
format<br>
</big></h3>
<br>
ACE standard features a compression ratio higher than <a
href="zip-file-format.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">ZIP file
format</span></a> (similar but usually
inferior compared to <a href="what-is-rar-file.html"><span
style="font-weight: bold;">RAR format</span></a> and <a
style="font-weight: bold;" href="7z-file-format.html">7Z format</a>)
and supports quite robust 160bit Blowfish encryption, implementation
based on Bruce
Schneier's Blowfish
symmetric-key block
cipher, developed by Schneier before AES process candidate finalist
Twofish cipher.<br>
