An ARI file may also be a compressed archive created by ARI, an archive utility for DOS. It contains one or more compressed files. Compressing files into an ARI file allows users to store and share those files more efficiently.
More Information
ARI was an archiving utility developed by RAO. It was available in both free and paid versions, with the paid version including extra features.
The utility compressed files using arithmetic coding, producing ARI archives. ARI users could combine this compression method with other compression algorithms, including LZP, DC, BWT, and PPM, to further compress their files.
How to open an ARI file
You can open an ARI file with ARI. Because ARI is available only for DOS, you may have to run it in an MS-DOS emulator, such as DOSbox.
