Convert R00 to 7-Z

Understanding r00 and 7z file formats

R00 files are part of a multi-volume archive created by WinRAR or similar archiving tools. These files are used to split large archives into smaller, manageable parts, typically with extensions like .r00, .r01, .r02, etc. To extract the contents, you usually need the main .rar file and all associated volumes.

7Z is a modern compressed archive format developed by 7-Zip. It offers high compression ratios and supports strong AES-256 encryption. 7Z files are widely used for efficient storage and sharing of large files or collections of files.

Why convert r00 to 7z?
