SAPCAR (older version was called CAR) is a compress utility (similar to winzip, tar, zip, gz, etc.) , that is used by SAP to compress and decompress nearly all delivered files and executables.
On Windows Operating Systems, the executables are called SAPCAR.EXE and CAR.EXE.
The compressed files are having the extension ".CAR" or ".SAR".
This utility reaches up to 90-95% compression ratio similar to Winzip for text files - binary files are not compressed that good, as this is just not possible. So, it is not useful to compress .CAR or .SAR files with Winzip, because you would no longer benefit with shrinking down in the size.
