rar Explained
RAR is a proprietary archive file format that supports data compression, error recovery and file spanning. It was developed by a Russian software engineer, Eugene Roshal (the name RAR stands for Roshal ARchive) and the software is currently licensed by win.rar GmbH.
It is now commonly used to split large files into smaller parts which can be uploaded or saved to media smaller that the original file size. It can also join these parts back into a complete file again.

What is WinRAR?
WinRAR is a command line tool for making and joining rar files. It is shareware and must be installed before HooRar can do its tasks.

If you continue to use dittoGUI you should also purchase a WinRAR licence and check their site for updates.
Because WinRAR is a comprehensive command line tool, it can be confusing to mere mortals. HooRar provides a drag and drop interface to easily create rar sets and join them together.
To use WinRAR's advanced features you need to use its command line interface from Terminal.
